Brief Answer:
TTS relates to foot issues.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Tarsal tunnel is more related to foot issues and causes pain in legs and feet. The pain in the back could be postural or due to a muscle spasm. You can take methyl prednisolone as prescribed and see if it helps. For back pain it is better to take rest and start with an oral muscle relaxant. Doing a hot compress will also help.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
