Case #2<br />

� You pursue the pain and she notes that the tap<br />

was not painful but when your hand grasped her<br />

foot, the pain was on the dorsum of the foot.<br />

� You test your hypothesis by plantar-flexing her<br />

foot which exacerbates her pain.<br />

� Sensory evaluation of the foot reveals<br />

numbness between the first and second toes<br />

and not much further.
