    This is all good information for pain relief but it doesn't help your feet and the degeneration will continue. Why is no one talking about rehab and strengthening the feet. By immobilizing the foot you also run the risk of atrophy in the surrounding muscles which leads to further instability and risk of injury, especially as you get older. Secondly there are no shoe options for wide feet and the rigid sole (except maybe Altra I haven't tried these yet) and the problem is simple to describe, most shoes are not the shape of your foot. I was wearing shoes that were half size large and 4e width and the problem still existed, my big toe was being pushed inward and causing pain just from the fabric on top of the joint and it was worse if I wasn't standing or moving. For me I have gone barefoot, it allows me to align my big toe properly with the help of toe separators and when my big toe is properly aligned I don't get pain from the lack of dorsiflexion, just limited in movement. I now can't wear any of my traditional shoes anymore. I used to suffer from inversion as a kid and some flat footedness, now my arches are back and I feel the muscles in my feet changing and working in ways I never used to feel. This may not be for everyone since we are all individuals, I am mid-50s and have been strength training for a few years and would consider myself above average wrt to my fitness. My job is at a desk so I can moderate my physical activity to what I do at the gym. All these factors have given me the opportunity to attack this problem differently and I am now hopeful that this can be managed long term, where last year I had almost resigned to the fact that I may need surgery soon. There is so much information out there about feet and foot conditions in general that I think we all need to look at everything and work out some of this for ourselves.

    Just ordered some shoes/inserts based on your recommendations. Radiologist diagnosed "severe osteoarthritis" of my left great toe on reading xrays. Been living with it a while, but becoming frustrated at how how hard 8000 steps now are (for this 65 y.o. long time hiker that is a big effing deal). I'll review your exercises and give them a try. Thanks for a good vidoe and supporting links with good information. Have my 1st face-to-face with my new PCP in November (Medicare started last May and things have changed). Will bring this up with him, too.

    Do you recommend weaning off the taping and orthotic when pain is better? Would long term use of the orthotic or taping contribute to further stiffness of the joint because it reduces natural big toe extension with walking?

    @Mary-867 2 роки тому +4

    Wow, best video I've seen so far both on the skeletal stuff as well as exercises and stretches- thanks for that.
    I've got rigidus in one toe (pretty much no dorsiflexion at all) and limitus-approaching-rigidus in the other. Bunions that make breaking in new shoes rough as they're painful with rubbing/pressure- but I really don't have pain walking or any day-to-day movements, nor any pain while barefoot- just some flatfooted tiring when I'm on my feet for an exceptionally long time, which was true pre-hallux issues too. Local doc advises fusion on both feet due to no/not much remaining cartilage, but I still plantarflex fine and am reluctant to fuse yet if I'm not generally in pain... just bothered by new shoes. I haven't seen any vids or online info about hallux rigidus advice if there's not associated pain with movement. Thoughts?

    THAT WAS AMAZING. I feel, YOU REALLY want to help people. I wasso I need if this knowledge after hearing from my condition yesterday. I have Flat foot and probably h. rigidus and I am extremely happy and grateful for all for all the information. I was wearing barefoot shoes for 12 years because I had pain in the knees at the time. The barefoot shoes solved it but maybe caused this issue to accumulate faster? (living in the city l walking with barefoot shoes...) I still have my barefoot shoes. Do you think my orthopaedic inlays will be stiff too? I still have my barefoot shoes. Do you think, those carbon inlays are OK with the barefoot shoes? I am so used to them... Lots of gratitude from Austria!! Florian

    I did break both big toes but have also been athletic most of my life (running, skiing, tennis, biking) and now have not only hallux rigidus (my podiatrist looked at the XRay and asked, "How are you even walking?") but the lack of big toe mobility has contributed to peroneal tendonitis and achilles tendonitis in my right foot which is the worst. What are your thoughts on "rocker" type shoes? I am currently in a 200 hour yoga teacher training and would really like to increase my toe mobility and decrease pain and aggravation

    Seeing an orthopedic Dr. on Wednesday. I've had this condition on and off for about 12 years. Comes and goes. It's at a point where there's a bone spur on the top of my foot and stiff shoes aren't helping anymore. Last few days have been difficult to walk. Starting to limp. Tried the duct tape method and can't believe how much better it is. Still hurts, but nothing like it was. Hoping he recommends inserts. Took pics of the foot duct taped to show him. And will definitely ask about exercises. Thanks so much.

    I was diagnosed hallux limitus with xrtays showing dorsal spurs on great toe. It came after someone stepped on my toe in basketball and I ran on it a lot before it was healed. The xrays show decent joint space in my great toe with very little cloudyness. Is it possible my cartilage is fine but tthe spur developed after a bad sprain and subsequent heavy activity on it before healing? Or do bone spurs always necessitate loss of cartilage in the corresponding joint?

    I got pain top of big toe joint, when I press down on joint and lift up on the toe it goes up but can feel cracking in the joint, I wear custom orthotic for overpronation, in the past all my problems like plantar fasciitis and metatarsal pain was in other foot, this came on suddenly, I play a lot of tennis, did not do anything other than overuse. I have an appointment to see Podiatrist. Do you think that cracking is permanent, 58 yrs old, good shape. I can bend toe with slight pain now, after tennis painful ? Sorry 2 part question, can I play tennis with steel insole with my custom orthotic or does running with steel insole could damage metatarsal or rest of big toe?

    I believe I have Hallux Rigidus after my gout flare. It's been over 1.5 weeks since my gout flare attack. But once the pain is gone. I realize I couldn't walk correctly. My big toe lost all its flexibility. I can't bend it backward 90 degrees, not even close to 45 degrees. Plus I have pain on the side of the big toe too. So what should I do? Every time I walked, my foot got swollen as well.

    I’d love to hear more about fracture treatment. I left my appointment 2 months ago feeling like the sesamoids were insignificant, I could keep exercising, and this would be no problem. (Tibial) I quickly learned that wasn’t the case. Is there hope of recovery? The fracture was worse at 2 months with a good tennis shoe worn and no exercise. I’ve moved onto a boot & cutout orthotic.

    Oh yeah, terrible foot pain, huge spur on top of my foot, pain so bad that I need to ice it every night so I can sleep. (I’m already on pain meds but keep that to a minimum). I’m a lifelong equestrian and have had bursitis in that hip for 25+ years…the toe pain has exacerbated the hip pain, so I’m now practically one legged.
    After 4+ years of injections and orthotics….(injections only work for a couple weeks now) I’m heading to surgery soon. I’ll definitely try the taping on top of everything else I’m doing while I’m waiting to get the fusion. Thanks for sharing these tips and info- very appreciated!

    Thanks for the tips, I had a irregular bone growth ground off big toe knock leg, hurt for 3 days. Got some movement back, I thin aggressive skying did it, landing jumps after back scratchers slamming toes in boot, made them blac n blue as a teen , bummer . I limped for years from a shattered femur from a ski accident. I think that brought the turf toe to a irregular bone growth? Limping sucks, walk proper even if ya gotta walk slow is what I believe, I will try some of the material covered , I do stretch my entire body daily, stretches I learned in Kung fu class and been doing for over 30 years now, thank you again.

    • @joecater894
      @joecater894 7 місяців тому

      Hello there, just out of interest did you get this problem slowly come on over years and then become worse until it was an issue? I had nothing wrong initially as far as I knew.. was running often.. then just like.. 7 weeks ago all of a sudden out of the blue I got something that felt like a sprain in the big toe whilst running that turned into lasting toe joint pain.. wont go away now.. went to physio and they said hallux limitus. Now I guess I wont be doing anymore running. But was just interested in how this developed over time in someone else.
      I was watching another vid on fusions which is a permenent solution and less drastic surgeries (of just improving the join and removing excess bone), which offer appently good relief for a limited number of years.. seems fusion has very good and permenent results that allow people to do most things.. I saw a list of activities and a satisfaction survey.. some people even manage to keep running (which is surprising to me). Check with professionals but from what Ive heard about other artifical replacements they arent super long lasting and can fail.. and if they do it can limit other surgical options. But again, needs a professional opinion.. I'm just repeating what I've read. Who knows.. maybe down the line they'll workout how to use stemCells and rebuild the join.. but it doesnt seems to exist yet.. I guess that might take a few decades or more.

    I have concern that if the joint is fused there will be other problems as a result- your gait will change somewhat which affects the whole foot, leg, hip and all the way up ... much more inclined to do the bone spur shaving surgery.

    Really helpful. I had a bone spur removed some years ago and the arthritis has left me with some pain and discomfort, but the overriding feeling of wanting my bad foot to feel like the other one. I want to just crack/snap it back so it bends at 90 degrees. It’s more the sense that I can’t stand on ball of my feet properly that is so annoying. I will now make sure I stretch everyday.

    Hi there, I enjoyed the video. I was wondering if laying on the stomach with the toes pointing down with small weights attached to them, so it's like pulling the toe. I was thinking this may partially separate the joint so the bones don't jam against each other as much. What do you think?
