Top 4 Movements for RELIEF from HALLUX RIGIDUS or HALLUX LIMITUS | Big Toe stiffness

[@terihoward2330]

I've been doing Alyssa's KZbin exercise videos for the hip, back and the toe for a month now. While the exercises provide relief to my hip osteoarthritis, it seems to be awakening other joints that need attention, and there is some discomfort experienced in them. I hope by building needed strength to these areas that this discomfort will dissipate. Hopefully, this is normal. For now, I'm working on being consistent. I find the exercises gentle for joint stiffness but so very effective.

I just came across your videos on KZbin this morning and feel hope. I have OA in my right big toe and left hand. I went to physical therapy for my hand but didn’t know what to do about my toe. Excuse me while I get started. 😊

[@debbiesmith2207]

You can increase mobility in your toe. It's a slow process but it works! My feet were worse at 40 than they are at 65 years old. Walking on the beach is good for the body and the soul.

Wish I would have had this video 1 1/2 years ago before I had one of my toe joints replaced! The blueprint has really helped me with my new toe joint too!

[@dreed1058]

I had metatarsal surgery on rt foot, and cholectomy (sp) on big toe joint last OCTOBER. Trouble is, that big toe is disturbingly still numb. I put ice or heat nightly. I can still feel pin pricks, but constant feeling of numbness - grr!!😢😮 New sub, interested in back & hip exercises (also just had hip surgery - long story!!)

We are in the same boat....

[@hannahpatten7226]

How often should you be doing these excercises? I have Hallux Limitus and my big toe is painful and stiff 😢

[@MyNeverletgo]

Thank you you have been very helpful for me

[@arthritisadventure]

I'm so glad!

[@Justine-sn9jp]

I have had hallux rigid for many years and recently developed sesamoiditis as well! Would these exercises make the sesamoiditis worse? Should I wait for the sesamoiditis to fully heal (3-6 months) before attempting to try these exercises?

[@lindaardito2128]

I had intense, knife pain in both big toes. Had surgery on both years ago. There’ s no range of motion on either, so it makes it hard to do some yoga poses, pilates and other things. It’s not great but so much better than the pain I was in. I think there are many other options now for this problem.

[@morph-jh9iy]

It actually exists now, even though most doctors still want to stiffen the joint. A specialist in Germany (Berlin) manages to operate even with advanced osteoarthritis so that the joint functions again without pain. I don't know exactly how this works. He somehow minimally increases the distance during surgery so that there is no more friction of the defective joint surfaces. But what I find particularly exciting is that he installs plates, which means that people can walk again almost immediately and without a cast. However, the titanium plates have to come out again after a year. But then it is only a minor operation without any loss of working hours.

@@morph-jh9iy Do you know the name of the German specialist?

[@morph-jh9iy]

@@imagine4free I think his name is Dr. Maysar Rahmanzadeh.

@@morph-jh9iy Awesome thanks!

[@morph-jh9iy]

[@scottlo8583]

I started balancing on a Bosu ball. It seems to help. What do you think??

[@kimleith1378]

Glad to have found your channel. I recently had my X-rays read by my Dr. and was told I have severe arthritis in my big toe. My confunsion is all the pain is referred to the outside of my little toe??? No pain in my big toe at all. Walking only hurts my little toe from the side. Very sharp, stabbing type of pain. Any input on why the pain is referring this way?

[@lorettazurawski2604]

I have Hallux Rigidus with a bone spur on big toe joint. It hurts so bad and I can nolonger take my long walks. Told I need surgery which I am considering. The only shoes I can wear are my tennis shoes with my orthotics. It is very frustrating but do you think these exercises would help me at all?

[@funchie3533]

What if the other toes bend/ lift as you try to press your big toe down on the towel (causing your foot to feel off balance and shake)?

[@debbiesmith2207]

Thanks for these videos! Ive been having problems for 20+ years and actually gained some mobility. My favorite tihing is walking barefòt on the beach. I think that gives some of the same benefits of these exercises, especially when the wqter is cold.

[@arthritisadventure]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@thegeraldinekuss]

My big toe's almost covering the toe next to it, it's not going to cooperate with these movements. It's a real bunion! You need someone with a bunion to MODEL these exercises! You're too perfect!😅

[@catbirdler]

A bunion is a different condition than the one she's demonstrating exercises for here. This is more an arthritic problem of the joint.

[@Bone783]

Walking is getting harder for me , I am considering surgery at this point.

I have a walking challenge you could check out. Here's the link. bit.ly/489S99e

[@yogalifeandwellness3561]

Will these movements work for arthritis in other toes?

[@arthritisadventure]

they can be

[@maureenbehrs3019]

Same question!

[@sherrieludwig1679]

My Podiatrist recommended an orthotic too after my toe replacement. They are worth it! Also he recommended Hoka One One shoes. I use the Bondi ones.

[@lorettazurawski2604]

@@sherrieludwig1679 Which Hoka's are you using? I need to try them.

[@PLeejo]

My podiatrist has recommended an expensive orthotic, not covered by insurance. Is this an effective solution?

[@chrislopresti2583]

Mine recommended that also. I paid $400 for it and it was useless.

[@nicolejones279]

Same. Mine were $800 and did nothing but make my shoes smell bad.
