If you feel zings easily in your toes/foot, some compression is happening around the ankle.
There is also a spot on the inside lower ankle:

Same for the hand. This is called Tinel's sign.
Compression in the spine can be from spurs, herniations, or vertebrae that have collapsed from osteoporosis.
Arthritis can compress nerves in any joint affected. This is from inflammation in general. I have some referral to my feet from my knees, and that is where I will do Lidoderms if they flare up.

Thank you so much Mrs. D!
I tried this morning the tapping of my front feet, there was no zings..
When compression happens in the spine by spurs, herniations, or vertebrae - is the pain at the back or does it have a referral to the feet?
Again, thank you.
