How to prevent metatarsal tunnel syndrome?

Focus on the diet rich in vitamin B1, vitamin B12 and vitamin PP. In animal protein, such as liver, kidney, meat, dairy products, fish, shellfish and eggs, vitamin B12 is relatively high and can be eaten more, which is of great significance to the recovery of nerves.

Hallux valgus can stretch the retinaculum and abductor plantaris muscle, which can distort and compress the medial plantar nerve and blood vessels. In addition, the flexor retinaculum acts as a restraint at the metatarsal canal during dorsiflexion or plantar flexion of the lateral malleolus to prevent tendon slippage. If the foot and ankle activity increases suddenly, the tendon slippage increases and the friction increases, it can cause tenosynovitis. If the activity of foot and ankle continues to increase, the congestion and swelling of tendon sheath will become more and more serious, the flexor retinaculum will be thickened correspondingly, and the flexion of plantar canal will be decreased. Therefore, the increased pressure in plantar canal will squeeze the tibial nerve, affect its blood supply, and cause nerve dysfunction.

In addition to the release of the flexor retinaculum, the medial and lateral plantar nerves should also be released, and the fibers at the entrance of the nerves should be cut.
