"Now, what is a muscle without a nerve? It's not a muscle at all, because you must innervate the muscle in order for it to move. So you have nerves ok all in here. If I were to press really really hard it would be very uncomfortable because there?s nerves just feeling just everything all in here. Even though there's not that much muscle, there are a whole lot of nerves in your foot. Ok. So these are called Plantar. The nerve is called Plantar ok. You have a medial and you have a lateral. Medial, more inside lateral, more outside. So just depending on where you are on the foot it's either going to be medial or lateral outside of the foot.
