    This complaint does not go away easily. I have had it for nearly twenty years, the NHS was no help whatsoever until I got to the near suicidal point last year. All these aids do work to a point but unfortunately despite consistent types of massage, toe spreaders and insoles I am still at ground zero., I have managed to see a consultant yaaaaaay. I underwent steroid injections, but it didn't work, I was offered radio frequency ablation three weeks ago and some success. Not suicidal now but cannot walk comfortably or far. It is a terrible thing to suffer from as it has other complaints that run alongside it like metatarsalgia, arthritis and plantar Fasiitis. As a last resort I have purchased a pair of barefoot trainers. Here goes.

      Yes this is a nasty and tricky condition indeed. It sounds like you are on the right track now however - with the barefoot trainers, just build up very slowly.

    I have just been diagnosed with this condition , this video has been wonderful and l wish l was nearer to your organisation. I have seen a wonderful physio privately. Initially l saw a NHS one after waiting 4 months for an appointment and was told to ignore the symptoms which is terrible. So l am grateful to have a diagnosis to explain the discomfort. Your advice has been so helpful and l will definitely try the ideas thank you so much.

    I have buldging discs in my low back. L5 and S1. I have what feels like Morton's Neuroma in my left foot but as I understand pinched nerves at L5 can cause similar issues since L5 is the nerve root for toes 3&4.

    • @freestylefeet2063
      @freestylefeet2063  3 місяці тому

      Thanks for the message- yes precisely . It can be either - I would suggest a professional capable of assessing the back, the nerve pathway and the foot is the best option. A clinical diagnosis is most important and then if available imaging to support that can also be helpful in confirming that diagnosis

    I just got diagnosed with this and I can't believe it! I love running/walking/hiking, but I'm going to take a long break and not do any of those things until I recover. My doctor recommended an injection, but I decided not to have it because I wanted to do more research and I'm going to try his other suggestions and your. But do you think I can still run/walk/hike again? He told me it can come back if I don't take care of it. I am so worried :(

    • @freestylefeet2063

      Sorry to hear about the recent diagnosis - the good news is there are a lot of treatment options. This is quite a common diagnosis and can be managed well, with non-operative management. There are lots of options. Start with ball massage under the arch, and avoiding any side to side compression like in tight shoes.

    • @freestylefeet2063
      @freestylefeet2063  2 місяці тому

      Yes, I would still keep moving - hiking yes, running - see how it feels. Footwear choice is crucial here - try on lots of styles. Here is a good place to start using this ball - ua-cam.com/video/1bJxJiO-Fa0/v-deo.html also start using toe spacers as soon as you can, these can make a difference within weeks.

    Can a lisfranc fracture be one of the causes?

    • @freestylefeet2063

      Good question , a Lisfranc can certainly cause a range of issues through the mid foot and quite possibly compromise the nerves

I have consulted with patients all over the world via Telehealth , which is always an option. As a start for your foot trial some gentle self massage in both the front shin muscles and the arch muscles - daily for a week and see if anything changes
