Hi. When I first had this pain I went to a foot/ankle doc and though my emg did not show tarsel tunnel he still felt like it may be. I wore the air boot which was first given to me by the ortho when though it may be a fracture but could also help with tts. I had 2 shots of cortisone in that area which made it worse. Since none of my tests at that time showed pn and at start was so isolated I wanted to do surgery as well but then started having other symptoms and had more tests which showed pn. I too just wanted relief and even now would like to have surgery to just be fixed but forget though things seem like they can't get worse there always is if you know what I mean. Before this there is a website and I don't know if its more a sales thing as I am very skeptical of everything but called the dillion institue and its more on issues like tts. Good luck in what you decide and I understand the frustration and fear.
