Wow that’s out of left field!
So side of hand - karate style ‘chop’ and across the width (shortest) part of the foot? Whilst I am reticent -due to a sore knee (broken the same time as the ankle) - I’m not adverse to trying an unconventional technique.
Worth a shot. I’m sure my husband won’t mind if I ask him to hit my foot. I think he is as tired as I am of my crankiness due to lack of sleep.
I’ll get the calves massaged first (suggested by eloise999) and end with a karate chop. I’ll report back.

@lorry yes karate chop across the middle of the foot usually 4-5 hits. I just had to have my wife hit mine. You can do your own in a pinch but better if legs are straight out. I have also used the back of the heel of the opposite Foot to hit the middle of the other foot as well. Good luck !
