Thanks

hi. im a drummer and have a prolonged (5 year) stress fracture in my right foot from the bass drum pedal in the second and third metatarsals. i also made it worse by running. is there anything that you can recommend for my feet? i need to be able to play drums for two hours a day. i usually play high intensity rock n roll. its my life. i had switched to barefoot running shoes both for running and drumming and they may have caused problems.

Hi! I have a bone marrow edema/bone bruise on my medial femur condyle. Have had it 6 weeks now and I’m still sore, still working/ walking though. I was to start running again will it do more damage ?

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.

I'm 15yrs old, now tell me how can I fix this legs💔🤸🙂

This is junk science. No where does he mention any of the math or physics to support his claims. For a 200 lb person the difference between running on Concrete and Asphalt is 1/16 of a human hair. Yes on a hot day the asphalt will be softer but so will your bottoms of your sneakers. Its all in your head! If you get shin splints it's not because your running surface is to hard it's because your your Calf muscles are being work so much that they are pulling on your tibialis muscles. Learn how your body works and your body will work better.

Loved the video. Good examples of what clients should take responsibility for. I've had cases where it seemed clients didn't know what they should be bringing to their doctor's attention. I realized that when we would have general conversations, and they would randomly mention things to me. My response would be: Ok. What did your doctor say about it? Their response would always be: Oh. I didn't know/think that was important, or had anything to do with what's going on. Those were ah-ha moments for me. They really didn't know what they should be sharing. Is it wrong to think the doctor should be asking those probing questions to find the missing pieces and make it make sense?

I had plantar fascia surgery Feb 6th 2024 followed everything to a T. Is been three months and I was feeling great until I developed a small pain at the back of the arch where the heel starts. It was tolerable. I went for a walk on a flat trail and my entire arch began to hurt tremendously. I was hobbling back to my car. Now my whole arch is in pain. Do you think I could have torn the fascia? I seriously haven’t even biked or hiked just normal day to day

I’m confused with my calves cause my left calve is bulky and bigger however my right is smaller but has more definition. By the way my left ankle sprained twice, it was when I was playing basketball and volleyball. However my right I have only sprained it once which was in soccer. Right now am doing calve raises but more on the right and it doesn’t seem to quite be working rather it’s getting more definition.

Great tip 👍🏼

I can't seem to heal properly, it swells as soon as I walk on it for more than 5 minutes, I then again have to rest it and ice it for 2-4 days, it's been like this for 4 months. Not asking for advice, but what do you thing is happening in such a case?

Bad advice. Do not run with plantar fasciitis. It will only make it worse. You are taking a risk and may be out for months. Also do not always listen to the doctor. You know your body more than the doctor.

Scretcher are better

Great video and helpful advice . Stretching the big toe has really helped.Interesting, no doctor I saw gave me any good advice. Surgery was only recommended because they make money on surgery

Hi there, I had a bone scan and have been diagnosed with “Tiny stress fracture right mid femur associated with very mild periosteal reaction and moderate focal osteolytic activity.” It has been roughly six weeks since I had the major pain and stopped running about 5 weeks back. I have not had any pain walking for about 4 weeks, and have tried a few runs over the last couple of weeks and I can notice a dull ache in the area when running, but not painful at all. Also can hop on the affected leg pain free. How long would you recommend before beginning running again. Is it normal to have a little ache when returning? Also the scan was done a week ago.

Stupid canadian Dr's told me wrong. Told me to stretch all the may down.

What about the walker person who has all the classic problems but severe over pronatikn

I was just diagnosed with hallux rigidus but no big toe pain. I have 2nd metatarsal pain from top of foot down to the bottom of the foot. So, I’m confused

But you dont want some rando gp sticking a needle into your joint capsules

I had this pain for years, thinking it was from previous injuries and tying my shoes too tight. I found out after wearing looser socks that it wasn't my footwear at all. Almost all "normal" socks seem far too tight around the mid-foot. I now wear looser socks, or carefully cut some of the elastics out of tight ones, and i havent had any trouble with this since. Hope this helps someone out

Great info, As a beginner runner I was worried I had an injury because after around 20-25 min I start feeling some minor inflammation on the left forefoot, good it not an injury but still have the question on what muscle imbalances can cause increased stress on one foot because the right one has no inflammation

You know what I find annoying is that some of the Ortho docs I dealt with when I fractured my foot were careless with handling the fracture and providing adequate treatment, as if feet are not important. Yet our feet are the primary foundation that keeps us balanced and stable from falls that can lead to multiple fractures and lengthy hospital stays.

After suffering with this for a few months, I got a PRF injection on a plantar plate sprain last week and am currently on crutches. How long should I stay on crutches until I switch to taping the toe?

Thanks a lot

the landing page says $47, but the payment page $497. help?

Wow, good to know, thank you

Man I'll definitely try compression socks next week. Can't imagine life without sore and inflammated feet

I was really big into weight lifting and unfortunately overdid it. I messed up my chest, shoulders, biceps, and triceps. To much bench Im preety sure. I saw 2 different orthos and they said Im fine but my muscles significantly atrophied and Im afraid they will never come back. My arms are like toothpicks now and I dont know what to do. Im scared they might get to weak that I have to amputate. I did an emg and it came back ok though

How long does it take to recover from muscle atrophy??

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!

what generally is the recovery time?

Seriously! You literally said an Achilles tendon injury without or with surgery means an end to one’s running… also Achilles tears in athletes generally do not come with a warning light… it may rupture without any indication it is injured. So saying don’t get one is stating the obvious…how about offering a more accurate description of what you could expect and obviously the challenge of getting back to normal or at least to the best possible form with said injury.

You use the term fracture and break interchanges

both suck, but I have an actually fractured bone. Jumped off a truck and caught a dresser full of clothing along the way

Do you have a video of hamstring tendinopathy?

I have length limbing when i was running how to run properly tell me doc

Hey Doc, how can I get a hold of you, for some webcam questions?

After 4 years I got a diagnosis for this! It’s soooo painful and I have on both ankles

Could I ask you one quick question? I happened to hurt my rib bone (on my right hand side) while reaching something through the open window of my car. I got an instant jolt while slouching down, which might have caused pressure onto my rib bones. Well, I feel discomfirt as I cough or laugh, but still can keep running with not much pain. Could this be a crack? (FYI, I have no bruise on the area) If so, should I not run?

Dr.you did not tell us about how to treat this, you only told us to weigh the pros and cons of running with this inflammation 🙁

What if I have a split tear in my peroneus brevis tendon my Dr didn’t recommend surgery and said I can get back to sports ?

I'm going to try that out, thanks for posting this

What if it's a bad tear with significant toe retraction of end toe? What exercises can you do?

I have been running endurance runs between 5 and 6 mph for the past 2 months. Yesterday I was doing interval runs getting up to speeds of 7.5 mph at times. I felt no problems after the run but the next morning I noticed my left small toe ( 5th) black and blue. I notice it beginning to itch and swell. I think the extra speed caused my toe to extend and bend beyond which it is normally used to. I wrapped the 5th and 4th toe together in a make shift cast made of cotton and tape. I plan to run an easy mile today and I'll see if there is any pain. Hopefully it's not a stress fracture but only a torn tendon. I think if my toe was broken I would have noticed more pain after yesterdays interval run.

Can there be a false positive for a torn quadratus lumborum muscle? I have an old fracture in exactly the spot where this so-called torn muscle is. I am hoping I don’t have a torn muscle. I do have a desiccated L5, S1 disc. But the ultrasound technician wouldn’t look in that area.I can get a stem cell and PRP package for $6500 but I cannot afford that. I’m hoping that my bill is just acting up and it will heal itself but I am in excruciating pain and I don’t know what to do. Thank you so much!

this the worse pain ever, keeps you up until 5 in the morning, very tiring, feels like a huge stone on top of the foot

I pulled mine near my third toe a year ago. Now l feel tightness and pain in my foot arch. Spasms in the arch at rest. I have foor arch supports but they seem inadequate.

Thank you for a good video! As I've had Hallux rigidus for several years, but I also have knee problems (probably related). My advice to anyone with similar issues is 1. Get good shoes with rocker sole and wide toebox (altra, hoka etc), and 2. Educate yourself and be curious, there are lots of alternative exercises you can do that build strenght. You don't need push-ups.❤
