    So you cut out the nerve and the pain goes away, therefore the nerve must have been responsible for the pain? What is wrong with this logic? If you cut out the nerve (or use of local anesthetic) then there will be no more pain regardless of the cause.

    I've been around this stump in other forums. When you see persistant dorsal lateral foot pain think sinus tarsi syndrome caused by compression forces between the lateral process of the talus and the floor of the sinus tarsi of the calcaneus. This explanation of pain, as far as I know, was first described by Duchenne in 1869. More recently described by Kevin Kirby in his rotational equilibrium paper.
