Pain has been diminishing daily but not gone away completely. However, because I am compensating it's kind of travelled to my shin as well. If I'm not better Monday, I'll go see the doctor. Okay, the pain is on the top side of my foot, so if my lLeg is an "L", the pain is on the angle where the foot and leg meet. I just went online to look at foot bones and it looks like it is the Navicular, maybe the Talus. I can actually touch the spot that hurts and it is just in the very center. Will this p/t still work for this area?
