Big Toe

OK, it's not swollen or externally tender - but I was wondering about stress fractures, or partial dislocations. It's genuinely excrutiating for a few seconds when I do certain things. My toes have always clicked and I think I might turn on them more than some people... Hard to say. First noticed it specifically a few weeks ago, playing tennis - serving, it's my 'launch' toe - but since then it's just got worse and happens more frequently. It's now a bit painful just.. generally. Not even walking.

I get the exact same thing, have done for years, it's like my big toe goes into spasm and points downwards and it hurts like hell but as you say, after a few seconds it is fine again - wierd.

No lumps or outside tenderness at all. Certain it's not an ingrowing toenail as it definitely feels further back than that, and it's linked to certain movements. Seems a bit better today, but def. not right. Suppose I should see a doctor, but I think he'll say 'rest it'. Poo.

I have slightly high arches. Nothing crazy, but enough to have been putting a lot of excess pressure on my metatarsals. A short period of superfeet use will probably sort it out. If not, there may have been some nerve damage requiring an operation. How exciting! I'm OK to play at the end of May, anyway, which is the important thing.

You may have helped to solve my own problem there. I take it superfeet are a form of insert to shoes?

How will we recognise you, will you be wearing the wedges/ Hush Puppies...luckily I know Phil, as that would be confusing as that is his type of footwear

:) Apparently, I'm ginger, though, so that may help. Stu says I am. Ergo I must be.
Oh dear that doesn't help as you won't be alone in that in Phils team. Dont forget to take a note to tell Phil you are not allowed to do the cross country, and remember your shorts or Phil will have you in his boxers at the drop of a hat....oh even if you remember your shorts I have just been told

I only have Premier League quality players IN my team.

 

Nicky baby, so many mistakes.

 

We live in a Desert. A desert is HOT. Hot means sweaty areas. The LAST thing anyone down here wears are Boxer shorts FFS

 

Meanwhile, how co-incidental, my foot hurts as well and has done for 3 days. Saw the quack he said take two aspirin and if it hasn't gone by next week you're fooked, it's a trapped nerve and a bone spur and needs an operation.

 

If it does go away then it's either Gout or Osteo-Arthritis.

 

Great
