I could never reproduce the pop on myself either. I just wasn't good at it. You may want to find a doctor that is good at it. That numbness where you describe, including into the ball of the foot, sounds like MN, but it may not be. I used to be able to run up to 17 miles barefoot before the nerve pain really set in to where I had to stop. But then as the neuromas got larger and larger, my miles went down and down. It's something to think about, consider, and possibly see a doctor about. If you have MN, you want to catch it early. All of the many treatments I have had for MN have failed, and only having actual "real" surgery has removed them. Now I am recovering from the surgeries, and we'll see how I am after I'm all healed up. I hope I never have to deal with MN ever again. Let me know what you find out about your pain when you know more.
