Try working also the top of the foot. You may have a compression there or at the ankle.

I do my ankle and scar first, and then the ball of the foot, and finally the toes. (If my cat doesn't discover me doing it...which then I discontinue, play with her a bit, and then go back to it).

I just put a link up to Tinel's sign... on the PN board.

If you tap your top of the foot with a spoon or hard object gently, do you get zings in your toes? This is a sign of compression at the tarsal ligament.
