Hallux Rigidus vs Hallux Limitus what is the difference?

If you get pain and swelling and discomfort particularly in and around the big toe joint, you may have a condition called hallux limitus or hallux rigidus.
Hallux limitus and hallux rigidus are both conditions that affect the big toe joint. It causes pain right where your big toe attaches to your foot.
Many runners with this condition don’t even understand the difference between hallux limitus and hallux rigidus.
There are really a few things that define the difference between these two conditions.
Understanding the differences may help you get clarity after a doctor visit.
Today on the Doc On The Run Podcast, we’re talking about hallux rigidus versus hallux limitus. What’s the difference?

Thanks for the vid. I have Hallux Limitus and my doctor kept saying no podiatrist would be able to do anything about it. Now I know why -- b/c there is no code for it. Thanks!

Great video. I've had an issue with my big toe for 18 months, to me it sounds like I've got Limitus. I can bend it and move it, but its sore quite abit. I worry it'll never be right again

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have been following this channel for much of the last year after I figured out I probably have HL but I hadn't seen this video before. I will be reading your review paper with great interest. I really appreciate you sharing it.

I have Hallux limitus and I want to find a way to keep running. I know it’s not promising but it’s really important to me.

[@DocOnTheRun]

If it's important enough to continue running, it's also important enough to figure out how.

How long does it usually take to develop hallux limitus?

[@DocOnTheRun]

Depends on the cause, activity level and factors contributing to the joint mechanics.
