A member asked:
I do not have diabetes. i have a wide constricting band that goes from the top of my foot and wraps all the way around the arch. tight to ankles/ toes?

Band Aid.: From your description, you just feel a tightness as opposed to the skin being actually tight from edema. This sounds like a neuropathy or nerve entrapment limited to the foot area. Even possible low grade trauma (shoes) to the area. The best way to find out is to visit your Doctor for a referral to a neurologist.
