One thing makes another flare up. PF causes a bout with PN or vise versa. a bout with PF leads to TS as well. I think in many cases all three of these are really an underlying problem with pn and the doctors haven't made the connection.

Yes, I agree. My feet were terrible when I was so hypothyroid.
They were mostly numb. Low thyroid causes deposition of a form of tissue in the hands and feet...it causes carpal tunnel in the hands, and I expect the same in the feet. When I finally was given thyroid hormone, my feet "woke up"...I had passed from pain to numbness by then. I had tingling and other pains for over 6mos as my feet woke up, and it was almost a year that my feet settled down finally.
Tarsal tunnel can also be constricted by swelling of the feet (many medical conditions can cause this) or inflammation which will also close off the narrow tarsal tunnel.
