I am 42 and I am going through this. Thank you for putting this on so I can learn. :)

The worst thing about foot pain is that it makes you lazy, and I was lazy to begin with.

Outstanding video! Thank you very much.

It's a very professional video. Ty

OMGawd! This video was very helpful. This capsulitis is noon joke. Very painful. I have that very problem mt second toe is longer and takes the brunt of my lift offs as I walk. Now I get it.

I'm glad that the video was helpful to you.

Thanks for the comment. If there is swelling on the top of the foot you might have a stress fracture. You can view a video on metatarsal stress fracture if you google search San Luis Podiatry Group. If there is swelling and pain on the top and bottom of the second metatarsal joint then you may have capsulitis but in your description and given your age I would expect a stress fracture. Immobilization with the use of a walking cast boot may be a good direction for you. You have done some good self treatment but it might be good to get into a foot and ankle specialist. Best of luck.

I noticed this problem after bunion surgery. Dr said push off on big toe, I have been avoiding for 10 years. Everyone wondered why I wasn't walking right, it was because of pain in my second toe. Sneakers with high arches help. I need A-LOT of arch support. It doesn't matter how much cushion, the arch support makes all the difference. Shoes like Saucony Murarder and Nike Monarch have lots of arch support that I need. What is upsetting is that I'm just figuring this out now, after months of training and injuring myself further.

Great to hear that the video was helful.

I have this. Be careful the pad put in my arch support was worse on my body. It ma have been irritated nerves. Mine was shaped like a circle and maybe too high. I gave up trying to get help. Removed the arch support. Gained 20 pounds. I’m on concrete floors all day.

Thanks this sounds like what I have.

"Nooo" joke

Did you say Button Splint?

I have this... But the pain is on the big toe joint...

better than reading about it on google

I would love to come see you but I live in GA. I'm In college and I was also using nike free runs and putting a lot of load on my feet doing plyometrics, lots of calf raises, sprinting etc. I believe I have capsulitis. The issue has been going on for 3-4 weeks now. It started really mild and I guess the repetitive stress I continue to put on it makes it almost impossible to walk on hard surfaces. This is really affecting my gait and causing heel pain due to putting more pressure on other parts of the foot. I recently bought some new powerstep orthotics along with some new saucany shoes. Where can I get a custom orthotic made for me?? I'm spending a lot of money on this condition to decrease inflammation starting with nutrition, herbs, and supplements. I'm in college and have to constantly move around from class to class now and even that hurts. I hope to be able play basketball again but i'm pretty down about this condition. All I do is stay inside the house now while my friends go out please give me advice thanks. (PS I had surgery on my right hip due to a torn labrum and bone spurs last year basketball injury) I've worked hard and recovered from that pretty well and this is really getting to me and I'm usually a positive person. Thanks
