Suggest Treatment For Bilateral Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome And Occasional PACs And PVCs
Question: Hi, I've been diagnosed with bilateral tarsal tunnel and occasional PAC & PVCs. My primary dr is sending me to a neurologist and a cardiologist. I'm worried about not finding an underlying cause for symptoms. Just donated double red bold cells and it was noted that my plasma didn't display normal protein level. I'm thinking I should get it tested. Also blood sugar and thyroid tests were normal. Suggestions?

Detailed Answer:
Tarsal tunnel syndrome occurs because the canal in the leg though which the nerve passes is getting tight and so the nerve is getting compressed. If the steroids are failing, it is likely that you may need to get it operated. They open the canal so the nerve is released affording relief from pain.
As for the heart conditions, it needs a cardiologist to see the ecg and holter and suggest antiarrhythmic medicines like digoxin. Since the side effect profile is high, its better to take the medicines by prescription only.
As for the protein levels, you need to tell the exact reports to get a proper response.
I have tried to keep it as simple as possible.
I hope it helps.
Best of luck,
Dr Mittal
