Tarsal tunnel syndrome leads to various symptoms due to nerve compression. The most common symptoms include foot pain and numbness. The sensation of numbness typically appears intermittently on the sole of the foot, while the pain can be felt as burning or stabbing and may worsen with prolonged standing or walking. Weakness in the foot muscles can also be observed. The severity and onset of symptoms vary significantly from person to person. In some individuals, symptoms progress slowly, while in others, they can start suddenly. Pain and other symptoms usually worsen with physical activity. However, when the condition becomes chronic, some patients may experience pain or tingling even at night or while resting.
