I find it bizarre that I have no pain in my back or down my legs - just in my foot . Has anyone ever heard of this ? Is it possible ?
Thanks.

While it is unusual to not have accompanying leg and/or buttock pain, it is not unheard of. Clinical exam findings are very important to differentiate and a trip to a neuro might help!
