3D still showing<unk> . It is difficult to determine the exact cause of<unk> . It is important to attempt to determine the source of the problem. Treatment and the potential outcome of the treatment may depend on the cause. Anything that creates pressure in the<unk>  Tunnel can cause<unk> . This would include benign tumors or cysts, bone spurs, inflammation of the tendon sheath, nerve ganglions, or swelling from a broken or sprained ankle. Varicose veins (that may or may not be visible) can also cause compression of the nerve.<unk>  is more common in athletes and other active people. These people put more stress on the<unk>  tunnel area. Flat feet may cause an increase in pressure in the tunnel region and this can cause nerve compression. Those with lower back problems may have symptoms. Back problems with the L4, L5 and S1 regions are suspect and might suggest a "Double Crush" issue: one "crush" (nerve pinch or entrapment) in the lower back, and the second in the tunnel area. In some cases,<unk>  can simply be idiopathic. This is an image of a normal arched foot. When comparing to the normal arch image, this image of fallen arches, helps create a visualization of how the tibial nerve can be strained and compressed due to the curvature. Rheumatoid Arthritis has also been associated with<unk> . Neurofibromatosis can also cause<unk> . This is a disease that results in the formation of pigmented, cutaneous neurofibromas. These masses, in a specific case, were shown to have the ability to invade the<unk>  tunnel causing pressure, therefore resulting in<unk> . Diabetes makes the peripheral nerve susceptible to nerve compression, as part of the double crush hypothesis. In contrast to carpal tunnel syndrome due to one tunnel at the wrist for the median nerve, there are four tunnels in the medial ankle for<unk> . If there is a positive Tinel sign when you tap over the inside of the ankle, such that tingling is felt into the foot, then there is an 80% chance that decompressing the<unk>  tunnel will relieve the symptoms of pain and numbness in a diabetic with<unk> .
