Hello.

Chronic hypothyroidism is known to cause neuropathy. Your carpal tunnel syndrome is most probably due to the hypothyroidism. Now, in view of this new information of the hypothyroidism, you foot pain could be neuropathy related.

You can ask for a nerve conduction study. Treating the underlying condition that is the hypothyroidism is required.

Hello.

It appears to be a muscular or ligament pain. Do you recall having injured your foot ? Such a pain can also come if you wear certain footwear which is not appropriate.

How long have you been having this problem ? Are you a diabetic, or overweight ?
