Discomfort & burning down side of foot when touch/pressure on little toe for 1 yr. "interdigital nerve comp. of 2 smallest toes".what treatment?

Targeted blocks.: First of all the problem, as you describe it, may not be an inter digital nerve compression. The problem could also be a nerve compression or dystrophy of the sural nerve. By targeted nerve blocks to various levels of either nerve, there is a good chance of isolating the area of entrapment. The quest may take a couple of visits but it seems to me to be the most straight forward.

Burning foot : Burning on side of foot could be nerve being compressed in foot but doesn't sound like interdigital nerve compression. Depending on the final diagnosis there are options available like medications which work on nerves ( amitryptyline , nortyptiline) , or decompression surgery or nerve block . Please see your doctor .
