I also have SEVERE shooting pains throughout the foot, (some in the heel, some in the
instep, some in the toes, and some along the outer portion of the plantar
foot.) These pains are more intense than anything I have ever felt. As a lifelong athlete, and former construction worker I have had pain before, but never like this. I even nailed my foot to the floor with a pneumatic nailer and it didn't hurt as bad as these pains. I am scheduled for an EMG in a couple of weeks.
