Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome

It’s a confusing situation for any parent. Your child starts complaining of foot, heel, or leg pain. It’s not from a specific fall or injury; it just hurts. They might limp, complain of aching, or even use words like “burning” or “tingling.” Your first thought is probably “growing pains.” And while growing pains are real, they are often a catch-all term for very real, very treatable podiatric conditions.
