Is there an Ayurvedic cure for tarsal tunnel syndrome? - #16688
For the past six months, I’ve been dealing with a weird pain in my foot that just won’t go away. At first, it was just mild tingling near my ankle, so I ignored it, thinking it was just from standing too long. But slowly, the pain got worse – burning sensations, sharp shooting pain, and sometimes even numbness in my toes. It gets really bad at night, and some mornings, I wake up feeling like my foot is stiff and heavy. Walking for too long or wearing tight shoes makes it even worse. I finally went to a doctor, and after some tests, he told me I have tarsal tunnel syndrome. He said it happens because of pressure on the tibial nerve near the ankle. He prescribed painkillers and suggested using ice packs, but honestly, they don’t seem to be helping much. I don’t want to rely on medicines forever. I’ve also been told that surgery might be needed if it gets worse, but I really want to avoid that if possible. I started looking for alternative treatments, and that’s when I came across Ayurveda. I read that Ayurveda can help with nerve compression issues like tarsal tunnel syndrome by reducing inflammation and improving circulation. Are there any Ayurvedic oils or herbal treatments that can help relieve this pain naturally? Would massage or specific exercises be beneficial for tarsal tunnel syndrome? Also, is there a specific diet I should follow to reduce nerve inflammation? If anyone has tried Ayurveda for tarsal tunnel syndrome, please share your experience. I really need a long-term solution, not just temporary pain relief.
