Bob and Brad discuss how to get big toe pain relief.
Some of our astute followers have noticed me slurring my words. I am not drunk but working with Brad it would be justifiable. I had 6 infected cysts removed from my mouth (noncancerous) and I have residual scar tissue and numbness. I will try to do better. Thanks Bob.

I used to have severe big toe pain. I did a lot of research. 1) I got custom orthotics. They are built to take pressure off of my big toe when I walk. 2) I bought shoes with a wide toe box AND a stiff, rocker solel. 3) I take a turmeric/curcumin capsule everyday. Over the course of 12 months my big toe pain has completely gone away.

[@patriciamercurio7741]

May ask the brand if shoes you purchased? TYIA.

[@itsmegiles]

@@patriciamercurio7741 I know you weren't asking me, but I know of a couple brands that might interest you. Brooks shoes tend to have a wider toe box. The best shoe for the toe box issue though is Altra in my opinion. Their shoes are directly modeled for the actual shape of your foot. The issue with those is that while there is ample cushion, those shoes have a 0mm heel drop. If you have issues with your achilles, you may have issues. You may have to ease into them over time to get your achilles used to it.

[@WarTanko]

Will the pain come back if you stop these habits or is it permanent

[@MarkHolmes]

Have you ever had your big toe suddenly cramp and spasm and stick straight upwards in the middle of the night? (excruciating ) and take a while for it to relax and come back down?

[@kenjenkillasounds]

I KNOW THIS MIGHT BE GHETTO BUT HEAR ME OUT...... A Trick i do as well WHILE IN PAIN to take pressure off big toe, if you HAVE TO go out or handle errands is, if foot wear is big enough and wide enough preferably a wide foot sneaker or just size bigger.....FOLD A THICK SOCK from the back of your heel to litterally where the big toe starts to begin. Test it out side the sneaker then once correct fit, slide it into the sneaker that way your big toe should feel like its in mid air more and the back part of your foot and mid takes more of the pressure of walking........until you can get your meds and or rest you need to fully heal.....have a blessed day.

Thanks for this B&B. I have arthritis and both my great toes have been painful for for a long time but getting worse over the last couple of years. Watching these stretching exercises makes me feel queasy but they all make perfect sense. I'm going to try them but gently at first!!!

[@delsings]

Oh hey Bob and Brad! Great to see another vid. A big plate fell on the first knuckle of my big toe almost 20 years ago, so it sometimes bothers me. Thanks for the toe health info, happy Cinco de Mayo yall!

Been using Altra shoes for a few years now. The best, for me anyways. Nice wide toe box.

[@MrSaintDallas]

Hey guys, I'm glad I found this video. I'm a late 30s gym bro who just recently started having issues with my great toe. I haven't been able to workout legs for about a month now, just expecting the toe to resolve on its own. This video was reassuring that some of the stretching techniques I've considered doing will not cause harm. I followed along during the vid and would estimate that i felt a 25% restoration of function and feeling immediately. I'm going to continue the routine. And I would be remiss if I did not comment on how awesome your intro and theme song are!

[@cobyup10]

No way! Those gray vapor gloves are my daily go-tos! Best barefoot shoes ever

[@hopefarmer3392]

Bob - I'm sorry you had cysts; I'm glad you got the help you needed! Cysts are no joke. Please don't worry about slurring your words! You are both great to listen to, and you always have great information to share! Thank you and keep up the good work!

Not looking forward to the end game on this condition, surgery.

Hello Bob and Brad, Do you have any advice for people who have to wear heels for work? I have large and wide feet which makes finding shoes a huge challenge for me. I have tried on so many court shoes and heels with different toe shapes but nothing works. I honestly hate wearing heels and court shoes personally but I have to wear them for work. Hope you see this comment and can share what I can do to relieve the pain.

[@SuzMordsith]

Thanks. I will try this. I had an x ray done that shows nothing wrong but that bone hurts on the side a lot, even the smallest amount of pressure makes me want to scream. I thought it was a bunion but compared to most bunions I’ve seen, mine is super minor but I have huge pain. It’s not gout either.

[@CaregiversTouch]

Same, here. Went to have it xray everything normal. Decided not to go to doctor yet... Is healing do far I'm doing taping

[@shamsherloksom7110]

Hi I had surgery big toe, four months ago, but it still, not heal yet, when I walk around starts swelling. I'm seeing did your advice

[@emeraldgemexchangedumbosho7012]

Thank you docs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go Packers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[@RebeccaRabon]

I’d love to know how to kneel when I can’t bend my toes. I have herniated discs, and osteoporosis, so it was already difficult. It’s been impossible for years now to kneel with 1 knee on floor, because I can’t bend toes at all to get up.

[@justbychance7012]

I went on Dr Berg keto and follow his protocol for acid build up in body. My tire no longer hurts!!! I had issues for the past two years to point I couldn't walk on it. All gone now. It can be reversed.

[@residualroyaltyacademy]

do you mean toe?

[@christianmccall8120]

My toe hurts from walking with a locked: flexed foot from and ankle injury that's been healed yet I can't program myself to walk correctly... I somehow still walk flexed and it causes my toe to be sore now

[@abj136]

I for years had issues but generally only with activities like planking - I couldn’t do them with toes tucked under, so pointing the toes feet flat is the ony way that worked. I always assumed was related to running activities, wide feet, and hammer toes, so nothing to do with the things discussed in this video. I think?

[@crissybrandt7022]

You could have some arthritis in the toe and/or have hallux rigidus hallux limitus. I have this and I got a cheilectomy surgery. It didn’t help. 😕 I just limit exercises that will irritate my toe like planking and some yoga poses. Wish I could give better advice.

[@stonerboiphoenix8732]

I hyper extexted my big toe.its been 2 weeks.its a bit better.will i be able to skate after recovery?

[@Lsb412]

I had to have a sesamoid bone removed a year and a half ago, and while the pain is mostly gone, I still can't do what I used to do, like go relevé or walk long distances. I'm hoping exercises like this help and I can eventually get to the point where I forget I ever had surgery!

[@aspireonlinelearning9194]

Hi, I had the same. Have you managed any improvement?

[@Lsb412]

@@aspireonlinelearning9194 Hi! I'm not at the point where I forget I had surgery, but I have seen slow and steady improvement! I'm still careful, still wear good shoes with inserts most days, but my toe isn't slowing me down any more. I live in New York City and can walk for an hour at a time. I don't run for exercise regularly anymore, but I can run a mile or two with no problem. I can go on relevé. I haven't been super consistent with the exercises, but I do think they help, especially with confidence. The mobility exercises assure me that I can move that joint and use it with no pain, which I think helps me actually use it more and build up those muscles again. I hope you recovery fully!

[@aspireonlinelearning9194]

@@Lsb412 I can relate to all of that. You are not alone!

[@KaceyMadden]

I should know better, but I have “suffered” with this toe pain for years! I knew there was a solution rather than putting a scalpel to it. I wish I could take a picture to show you my toe. Instead of the sticking out on the side, mine is on the top. Can this bone calcify and become a boney protrusion?

Broke right big toe sesamoid 17 years ago, when a steel bar in my lab decided to interrupt my gait ;) Still hurts. Amazingly, still have the blood blister at the tip of my toe. Doc said nothing could be done. Any suggestions from anyone's experience? Steroid injections maybe?

[@bethanymiller6093]

Can someone explain why my bunion starts hurting really bad I feel I can’t walk? It started after basketball season started, on the outside it looks perfectly fine. It also hurts really bad when I put my foot sideways on my left side of my left foot. Basketball season has started and I am practicing almost everyday.

Ugh. Having a gout attack that's effecting my big toe. Working it through the full range of motion but sometimes it's sooo swollen. It feels like I'm pumping out sand/rust as you said. Trigger is high purine foods. beer and surprisingly broccoli flares it up for me.

I do get little black specks or a brown sticky sludge. I don't know if it's gout, though.

My first experience with the sesamoid area, is standing up and feeling like something was stuck under the area. It wasn't pain. I have had cramping with I curl my toes on the same foot. There is a slight bunion. The other foot doesn't have a bunion. I am athletic. I notice there is swelling inside the bottom of the joint. The swelling is more unfortable, and if I curl the toes I can induce cramping. What the???
