If I have done something to set it off, too hot of a bath, walk too much in warm or even not so warm weather, I can tell you exactly where the nerve track is. It is defintely intense pressure and feels 3 dimensional if you will, not shooting or stabbing. Sometimes I feel like my nerves just can't manage any tissue flux at all without freaking out. On your lateral foot/ankle pain though - do you think it's from compensation from your gait? My foot has had to make a lot of adaptations to the structural changes and I have had different aches and pains come and go till it settled.

Spasms - in blood vessels and muscles of the extremities, called vasoconstriction, I assume this is what causes the 1-3 degree temperature difference between both feet
Insomnia/Emotional Disturbance - (including limbic system changes such as short-term memory problems, concentration difficulties, and irritability). Check
