QUESTION: What do you have: Morton's neuroma? Metatarsal stress fractures? A long 2nd metatarsal? or just complete metatarsalgia!? 🦶We love our FANS and thanks for SUBSCRIBING!🦶 Also let us know what topics you want to hear about! For the shoes and orthotics recommended in the video: wp.me/p9imRX-54n

It's frustrating that trying to keep in shape is causing me more problems. It now seems that all my calf stretching on the edge of the stairs and high-intensity high knees exercises (i.e. running on the balls of my feet) may have been what caused my metatarsalgia. I am not overweight and am (or was) in very good shape.

Doc,thank you I started feeling this pain about 2 weeks ago. I've been searching for videos to help. I was 1 day from making a doctor's appointment! What's crazy I'm from. Michigan,but stay in a southern state now.... Thanks

Great info. Much more informative than my podiatrist. Are there sports that are off limits besides running? I'm and avid hiker and rock climber. Hard to imaging life without those lifelong pursuits!

Out of sheer frustration I made my own metatarsal pad with cotton cosmetic pads . I stacked about three on top of each other and taped them with blue painters tape on to my orthotics. I had to try it a few times to make sure I had it in the right spot...bingo felt so much better. I have Hoka's they are amazing. I'm 75 and used to walking at least 5-6 miles four-five days a week. I'm giving my metatarsalgia a month to get better 🤩 meanwhile I'm cycling and doing aqua aerobics.

I get my first time x-ray tomorrow for feet, legs,& lower back pain, all stemming from a mild right knee tear, one year ago, feeling, as the months passed that everything was good. Then, I started noticing the bunched up feeling under my right foot, with other things starting to hurt, especially my lower back, hips, & toes. It slowly got worse, to the point, just a month or so ago, that if I did not use Tylenol for Arthritis, I could barely walk through a store, unless I was pushing a cart. I have always been able to do anything physical , with the usual slight muscle pain. This is so new to me, that real anxiety over what was wrong has been jarring my mind lately. Then I started looking at ball of foot bunching things, online, really doing the most just this afternoon. Your video was expertly done, with easy understanding of what I likely have, done in a calming voice, unlike so many other videos. Again, thank you, and God bless you. I AM a 74 year young woman, not I bad shape, which is emphasized in your video, so it was inevitable that sooner or later, SOMETHING was destined to start falling apart! 🙏🏻 John 3:16 -17

Thank you so much for this video! I have metatarsal pain for several years. I saw a foot doctor before. He told me to add a pad on my insole and stretch my calf, but he didn’t explain it. I also had plantar fasciitis at the time and I thought the stretching was just for PF. Now knowing the mechanics behind it I will focus on stretching and massaging more!

I finally get some answers for my ball of foot pain.Thank you so much. I usually walk for exercise and I couldn't even do that because it was so painful.

I am so happy I found this. So easy to understand and I feel like you covered everything!!! Even the best shoe! Thank you so much!

My ball of foot problem came after dropped foot due to back surgery a few years ago. Since I have lost 30 lbs. walk a lot and have stationary bike. After a few miles walking my foot will “flap” more and most pain is in the ball of my foot. Also if I walk bare foot on wood floors at home , from middle of the ball of my foot I get a click, sounds like a knuckle crack. When my foot is rested I can walk normally. After rigorous workout (for me) the foot does work well for about 30 minutes and gets back to normal. Not having much luck with a diagnosis from MD’s. This was video was very good and had more reasonable eplainations than I have had.

Watched the video and followed your instructions. The pain in the balls in my feet went away almost immediately! Thank you very much for your advice, it worked!

My left foot has inflammation, under the 2nd and third toes, which lead me to your video. I pulled out some foot braces (stretchy bands with cushion for the arch), padded up with gel heel supports (came in the same foot care kit) and walked around the house. I never realized how much I was walking on the balls of my feet. Ouch! Time to look into getting better insoles and do more stretching! [Edit: thank you so much!]

You covered more than any other metatarsalgia video on UT. THANKS!!!!

Thank you! Such a huge source of easy to understand and act upon information. This helped me so very much, especially since many medical sites on this topic tend to be very wishy washy.

Should I remove the shoe Liner before adding the orthotic? I have tried it both ways. What would you suggest? Thanks

You rock Doc!! all of these exercises I normally do, work out and squash prep, but due to a broken toe next to the big toe I overcompensate when walking and have been walking on my 5th Metatarsal, thus the situation I am in. Thank you for confirming not to stop exercising and for motivating me to get off the coach! Greetings from cold Chicago!

Very good video. I walked through miles which probably is giving me issues and I do yoga and sometimes yoga gives me problems too.

Good stuff! Interestingly, in my case bike riding actually CAUSED my metarsalgia (MTB + Cleats + Rough Terrain). Changing cleat position and using a orthotic & metatarsal pad, along with lots of stretching is my current regimen, but not much relief yet. Considering trying Voltaren gel on the sole of foot next.

Thanks Doc for this video. I suffer Metatarsalgia in both feet, will try the stretching and message techniques. I feel tightness in my arch. For your viewers I just got some OOFOS shoes they are the best so far. Better than Hoka sneakers. They take all the pressure off the Ball of the foot with a big cushion in your arch. Very comfortable.

Thx do much. I'm 70 and have just started getting slight swelling in both feet on the Metatarsal area. This intensifies after 3 to 4 hours when I'm on my feet.

I am suffering from pain in the ball of my foot, I believe I'm experiencing Metatarsalgia. The pain just developed in the last 2 days. I have not had any pain in the foot before, I actually woke up in pain. I do walk a lot, averaging around 8,000 steps a day.

I have this right now. i cut a yoga matt to the width of of my foot arch. At the bottom i cut a curve to sit round my heel at the top i cut an arch to sit just behind the ball of my foot. yesterday i could barely walk from the pain and had to walk keeping one foot flat today i put the foam in a thin set of socks and wore a pair of boots. the boot on the painful foot was very undone on the laces and only tied up at the top i did a hour patrol at 8pm and was walking normally, the bump is not super pleasant but the lack of pain is amazing

This was so positive! I feel so much better after watching it about my condition and how to fix it. Thanks!

I have new Hoka runners, $200. Yesterday bought insoles, $75, and a little massage ball $14. I have metatarsal pads, $8. I bought one of the rollers you're showing, $80. I sure hope my problems solve.

Thank you for this video! I do Irish Dancing, and right now I obviously can't with Metatarsalgia. And I suspect getting back to dancing too hard too fast after a months long hiatus is what caused it. But I want to get back into it so badly! When and how can I get back to "repetitively putting thousands of [jumps] on the foot"? It is vital to me that I can get back to that. Any advice will be super appreciated.

Would love some feedback! Ball of foot pain came from playing high-speed tennis. Have had it almost 2 years now. Hoka's help a lot, but can't find an insert that keeps the pressure off the ball of my foot while wearing the Hoka... I think the arch of my foot is bruised at this point from trying so many orthotics. Thanks! p.s. I do have Morton's neuroma.

I really enjoyed and valued this episode on Metatarsalgia Exercises, Massage and Stretches! I have been hungry for this knowledge for years now. I have not had insurance or budget to see a foot doctor and years have gone bye bye 👋. The doctors I could afford offered solutions that were ineffective. I get so tired of being poor and looked at like you have 15 minutes and then we have our next patient. Not your problem I know. The whole system fell apart and this is where “we (me) (I) am”. So thank you for a detailed but easily understood action oriented video. I found I didn’t get bored and learned so much that made a lot of sense because it connected other symptoms that go together like the tightness of the body, stretching, inserts, proper shoes, getting pressure off the area which has been hard to figure out, and the exercises make sense. I can do so much of these things. The cross country fitness makes sense too. I have a girlfriend who insists on walking. I’m in pain after several hours. I do have a question 🙋‍♀️ how do you stabilize your ankles? I have always been clumsy with my ankles. They will roll, or I am wearing a shoe that has too much cushion in the front and bend it backwards and trip on my hands and knees. It really hurts. I will fall down stairs sometimes and hurt my ankle because I didn’t catch good footing. It makes me feel like something is wrong with me. Like I can’t guage things clearly. It’s been this way as I was young too. For example not lifting a foot high enough over a pet gate and falling down on concrete. Any ideas 💡 Thank you so much! 😊

Thank you, doc, this is very helpful. You have a very nice way of presenting the information.

Thank you. Years of discomfort and pain greatly reduced by your tips

On stretching: What do you think about doing yoga with trainers on? I know you're supposed to do it barefoot, but doesn't that really aggravate foot pain? Can yoga ultimately improve foot pain such as plantar faciitis or metatarsalgia since it involves stretching?

What a brilliant video. Thank you so much doc. I had this condition 5 years ago its now come back to bite me in the backside.

Was wearing bigger winter boots that didn’t have much support and walking more outside. Video - Really helped . I have had orthotics in past and will look at getting again. Great tips and video

Jumping rope a lot ,my middle toes kinda feel like nerves or little shocks, I want to go back to exercising, how long do I have to get back to normal

What do you think of a half a rocker when you have metal tarsal problems with the ball of your foot? I have hurt my foot many times. We’re in the shoes and they’re wide and they’re men’s shoes and the orthotic is so thick and bulky. It drives me nuts, what do you suggest I have hammer toes on the left foot

I bought an expensive pair of boots for work and they hurt to wear them. I thought it was just the break in period of the boot so I continued to wear them for almost 3 weeks! After not being able to take the pain. Went back to my old boots but the pain persists. It has been a month and no improvement. Found this video today and did the exercises at home, I’m already feeling a big improvement! Thank you so much!!!

Thank you for share. I have a podiatrist appointment tomorrow for the pain and knot I feel in the ball of my foot. I felt the pain while power walking to lose weight. I can see a lump on the ball and I feel sharp pain through the front of my front. Prior to exercise I stressed but now it hurts alot

I have lumbar arthritis, sciatica , and now plantar fasciitis and metatarsal on the left foot and swelling on top. I have the foot problem since November of 2020. What should be the better thing to do for my foot.

Thank you for doing this video. I have mild cerebral palsy and I also metatarsalgia pain. I now know I have been wearing the wrong kind of shoes. I am planning on seeing a podiatrist next week. Sadly I can't afford Hoka shoes right now. Do you think Puma shoes would help with metatarsalgia pain?

I probably have this. I got pain last night that went from a dull ache about a 1/10 on the pain scale and within an hour became extreme and is now a 8/10 with any weight or pressure. Putting on socks is very painful. It’s like tender with a stinging, sharp, stabbing pain. Like someone jabbed a needed straight through the bottom of my foot around that crease. It’s either the 1st and 2nd or 2nd and 3rd metatarsal. It’s been a day now and I wore a walking boot for part of the day (did nothing) tried a metatarsal pad and the pain got WORSE. I cannot walk bc the pain is so excruciating and I have a bunch of stuff coming up. I need to be able to walk, at least partially. All I did yesterday was my normal workout and a 20 minute walk on my road. I don’t know what to do, but I can hardly touch it and I don’t want this to be a chronic thing that never goes away but I feel like it is going to end up like that. So many people seem to never improve based off the comments of all these ball of foot pain videos. It seems surgery only improves it for some people and same with injections. I had plantar fasciitis last year at this exact same time, that time the pain was in my heel and was that same tender sharp stinging that even hurt to put socks on. It took me at least 3 months to be able to walk on both feet. Why so I feel like there is nothing that can be done? I hope everyone in the comments feels better, bc I would rather amputate my foot then deal with this pain at this level chronically

Thick soled shoes that roll are great while you have pain but not for regular or long term use because you’re making your foot muscles weaker.

Thanks, I have a small bump under my second toe that appeared a few weeks ago. It doesn't hurt but it was freaking me out, especially since I had bunion surgery on that foot a year ago. I will try these strategies to heal and reverse the bump.

I have a long 2nd toe but I also have one leg that is shorter than the other. I wear a lift most of the time but could this be adding to the problem (pain is in the opposite foot) and is there anything I can do to compensate?

very knowledgeable and got in sight on this topic i will tri it thank a lt for you efooorts

ya i started having pain in the ball of my left foot, in the muscles into my toes when I would bend my foot, my doctor recommended arch support inserts and new sneakers as I had been wearing the same ones for a few years, and since I've noticed a significant decrease in my foot pain.

Even if you’re in pain from the metal tarsal paining the ball of your foot you’re supposed to exercise. How do you do that when you’re in severe pain

i will be visiting you when i have some time doc. thank you for the video

Thanks for this video. I have been having pain on the ball of my feet over an year now. Cannot wear anything without a high arch and padding at the ball of my feet. I walk a lot and searched everywhere for a good pair of walking shoes. Paid a lot for it, it worked for a while and now I am beginning to feel the pain again. I brought some padding from Amazon but they are not too comfortable to wear in my shoes. Thanks again

I’m sure you hear about foot pain from nurses. I work 12 hours a day. I feel like there’s something stuck on the balls of my feet, like a bandage or something. When I’m extremely thoughtful about my stride & posture, and try to keep my weight more on my heels, it starts to resolve. My nursing shoes feel like they pitch me forward onto the front of my feet. Would inserts help? I’m saving your videos to begin exercising and stretching. Thanks!

Can you recommend a good flip flop? I live on a sailboat and have increasing pain on the ball of my foot. I think it is Morton's neuroma or something with my toe. My 3rd toe is separating from my second toe. I bought something to try and align them and I am trying the stretching you recommend. It feels like I have a pebble in the ball of my foot when walking. My feet are constantly wet so I can't just tape a metatarsal pad into my flip flops. I do have them in my tennis shoes. I recently started wearing Oofos flip flops and they seem to have made it worse. These are supposed to be orthotic flip flops. Thank you.

I start having pain at my ball of foot 2 weeks ago, saw your video and bought the gel Metatasalgia from amazon and it helps a little. I went to see my podiatrist and she saw that gel on my ball of foot when I tell her about having this new pain there. All she offered was giving me an injection! Now, when I am having this pain at the ball of my foot pad, and when I roll a lacrosse ball over there, it hurts, should I stop rolling the ball of foot pad area and just roll the ball on other area of my foot? Should I do those exercise when the pain is down? Thanks!

I have metatarsalgia. But mine hurts on the top of my foot next to toes. Ssme exercises?

had been working at a desk of the past 12 years. stated working at Amazon and started putting in 17-20 miles a night 3 nights a week. After 3 months of that the ball of both feet started to hurt and 2 toes on each foot went numb .

thank you for this great video! i have a podiatrist appointment this coming Tuesday this week and I had an Xray report coming back to me a few days ago. it appears to be a mild degenerative osteo arthritis.my second toe moved on the left right next to the big toe, leaving a massive gap between the second and third toe. the ball of my foot and the second toe are very tender, and I can't wait to have this checked to understand how NOT to make it worse. i have been active all my life with lots of bike riding, swimming and walking to the other side of morning along with some high impact cardio, but I never liked running and never will. I keep riding my bike, swimming and low impact cardio, as these are by far my best options at the moment. weights? I am not sure but I like carrying 2.5 kilos while squatting

I see I need to massage and stretch more

Dr will the fingers in the legs do pain due to metarsalgiacin in both the legs.i have mistaken this as RA and all the tests came out negative. Your Suggestion please

Would metatarsal pads or metatarsal padded orthotics be useful or a hindrance for running, especially as a forefoot/midfoot runner? Or would the padded ones be more used as a walking/recovery shoe? I'm wondering if that hump would feel awkward or even cause blisters during a run. Thanks, Doc!

Thank you Dr. Very helpful video for me. Plz advice me my left mid foot is very stiff and ankle is also paining after operation, left leg - 3,4 finger ligament also very stiff plz advice for same. Plz Plz

My favorite tip is to use a frozen water bottle. I have diabetes so my skin is extra sensitive to cold so I have a hard time bringing myself to putting an ice pack on my feet. Thank you. I had an issue with my achilles tendon in 2012 so I think that my metarsalgia is a side affect of of my side affect. I also have hypothyroidism and it tightens and the achilles

I was waring shoe sketchers brand for my last 4 month when I traveling . Daily I walk about 20,000 steps . And my right foot below is pain. I think it is cause by the shoe after watch you video. Thsnk you for sharing

Hi great video, just a question you said riding a bike is good, I have a ball burtits, would this still be good to do or would it make the healing slower ? Thanks Wes.

I didn't have the pads he suggested so I folded the gel insol I had to match up with my arch, relief instantly. I was hobbling on my heels last night then walking on the sides on my foot this morning. Now my walking normally, just a bit slower. Thanks Doc

Your optimism and passion is sincere There is book called learn optimism it sold millions and millions of copies the book was about a doctor who researched pessimistic patients and optimistic patients. Thank you

QUESTION ⁉️ WHAT ABOUT USING A MINI TRAMPOLINE OR FULL SIZE TRAMPOLINE as form of exercise?? I know it's FANTASTIC for Lymphatic movement and reducing swelling of the foot, ankle and entire Lymph flow and drainage from the body!

I have sciatica down my left leg . diagnosed with some nerve damage . you mentioned tightness of the Achilles tendon . the tightness causes my toes to curl. probably the cause of the pain in the ball of the foot . I currently have the Hoka Bondi X. it seems to lost its cushion . I ordered the Hoka Bondi 7. hopefully the cushion will remain cushioned . the plate in the Bondi X shortened the life of the cushion . I told the VA doctor about my foot problem and was ignored . the ankle is stiff and weak . easily injured if I am not careful . my knee is weak as well . I can't exert much . regular walking no problem . I increase the speed of walk . I feel it in the knee and ankle . I have to slow down . I may have to badger the VA doctor to do tests on my Achilles tendon . I have a hunch that I need surgery to fix it. so no more pain in the ball of the foot , no more ankle weakness, stiffness and pain . I have done stretches and the toes straighten out. also the ball of the foot pain goes away temporarily . the ankle stiffness remains . very tight calves as well . what should I tell the VA doctor to get him to listen to me . To order MRI , xray, whatever test I need ? unfortunately VA Doctors are notorious for neglecting veterans with poor medical care

I believe I may have had a metatarsal stress fracture in my right foot whilst playing tennis. I rested my foot for 8 weeks whatever fracture was there should have healed. I suffer from pain at the ball of my foot just underneath toe area. How do I now get rid of this pain? I am back in the court now but feel pain towards the end of a match and for days afterwards. What can I do? Please Thank you

I'm not sure if I have metatarsalgia but it sure sounds like I do. I work at a warehouse walking and standing for long periods of time. I've never had this pain at the ball of my foot in the past 3 years at work. Only thing that changed was my weight gain so I'm assuming I have metatarsalgia. I've tried different shoes and even metatarsalgia pads but it doesn't help. I'm willing to try anything at this point. The pain is unbearable.

Very helpful video. But I have one concern that I wonder about. If so much of this pain is caused by tendons and ligaments being contracted by tight calf muscles, and the patient uses Orthotics effectively, will the patient then become dependent on Orthotics and not be able to use other shoes? Would this make metatarsalgia permanent?

Acolo ma doare rau si pe mine si cind fac masaj este foarte dur Va mulțumesc mult ❤

Sir please do reply i am suffering from the same and my two little toe finger also pain very much while I do stretch but still hurts its been 4 months. Please give me advice Sir I am a runner i want to run😔

Dr. what kind of dress shoes (sandals and pumps) do you recommend for those of us who have metatarsalgia? A shoe with a 2 inch heal

I notice a metatarsal issue last month. I thought maybe a dropped metatarsal and tried to crack it back into place. No pass. Used the ball padding and noticed maybe the shoes was a bit to tighten up at the bottom of the tongue. Loosen them up and gave more space and extra bending. I just hope my metatarsal injury is just a sprang. And will heal in a short time. My fault in tying down the shoes to tight when working outdoors.

Thank you soooooo much😘 God bless U always!😚

I really enjoy your videos. I had Metatarsalgia in my right foot a few years ago, I was injected with cortisone and custom orthotics. They worked great and it went away. I now have developed it in my left foot. It's improving but it does seem to get inflamed after a round of golf. I wasn't wearing my orthotics in my golf shoes but now i will. For walking in wear New Balance 990v5...I noticed in one of the videos you had a Saucony in dark blue. What do you think of the Saucony Glide 15 compared to the New Balance 990 or the model you had in the video.

3 months ago i went to a doctor because my feet was hurting and he said that i had plantar Fascitis, he showed me some excercises (mostly stretching) and with a plantar sock i was well but i noticed one week ago a very strong pain to the metatarsal but I can't understand if it hurts on the bottom or on the top. Also I can't do calf raises with the left feet (the one that i had plantar Fascitis) but with the right i can do it easily. I don't know what to do...

Hello Dr. Ive enjoyed your videos so very much! Ive searched and am unable to find one that explains home treatment for my foot pain. Maybe ive missed it but after stubbing my little toe, which bruised for 3 days, im experiencing awful pain all along the side of that same foot! Can you suggest any particular video pertaining to help with this situation? Thank you! ❤

I was wrongly diagnosed with gout; 4 months later, so much pain my GP said I 'probably' have a torn ligament. Xray didn't reveal much and I now have to wait 4 months for physio before seeing a specialist (this is the NHS as it's worst); pain came on after running. Diagnosed myself with Sesamoiditis. But whatever the diagnosis the pain, which comes and goes but mainly comes with walking (and I'm very active) can't be helped. Today I followed your programme; put the pads under my Superfeet insoles - really helped. Currently rolling my foot on bottle of frozen water. Did the exercises. First day: already vast improvement. Thanks So much. Great video.

Thank you so much. Going to try this helpful tips so I can get back to work!

The best for u this 2021 🍾🥂

Hello from ireland. How tight shud you put the tape on for capsulitis of the second joint. Many thanks

They are so good no more pain or muscle tightness

One thing I didn’t understand Are you saying that wearing over the counter orthotics eventually give you other hip and back problems?

I’ll tell you what I have…pain in my foot just below the 2 little toes. I call it the little ball on the outside of my foot. My family Dr says it’s arthritis because I’m 71 yrs old. I asked her to feel around, because a few years ago, I had a ganglion cyst removed from the outside edge of that foot. I know I need to see my podiatrist, but he’s in S. Bend, Indiana. 40 minutes away. I live in Stevensville MI. When I put my shoes on,(Hoka’s) I have to walk on the inside of that foot until the left side settles down into the shoe, then I’m better. Do you have a video for pain around the little, outside ball of the foot? It feel like, if I grabbed the outside of my foot, by the little toes, and rolled the foot inward, if it would pop, crack, release, it would feel better. But it never cracks. How did this come about? I’m sure my breaking boards with that foot, 30 years ago while learning TaeKwondo had something to do with it. I’ve got to find out where you are in Michigan! Thank you!

Is walking in the sand and and stretching the toes out good, it seems like the exercises you recommend? Great video. Thank you.

Thanks for the video it might fix my metatarsalgia, but has already given me a headache!😅

I hate huka shoes I never had foot problems until I got huka shoes. My left knee hurts so I got huka shoes. Now my right foot has clicking pains behind my big toe and next toe

what an awesome talk!

You kinda remind me of Ronald Jenkees. Great keyboard player. Either way like the video. I’ve been having this kind of pain over the past few months.

Great video, hugely helpful. Thanks. I have had podiatrist made orthotics for several years now for metatarsalgia. I stopped using it for the last couple weeks and feel no pains. Seems like its cured. However, I bought the shoes, pads, and inserts you recommended. Question: Do I really need to use the pads if I am not suffering from that specific pain? And with the pads do I need to also put them on the foot that didnt have the metatarsalgia to prevent it happening there?

Any idea why I can wear flip flops and experience little to no discomfort from my metatarsalgia? Hoka shoes do help, but I still have ball of foot discomfort.

I have an old pair of hard plastic molded custom orthotics. 3/4 of the length of the foot. Do you think it would be worthwhile to use them for what feels like capsulitis?

Wish I could upload a picture of my foot exray. A lot of dislocated small bones and a dropped metatarsal.

I fall down to stand to 4 ft ground food bottom front finer points pain

What is the other medium term option shoe manufacturer you showed in your video. You mentioned the Hokas but did not mention the brand of the other shoe? Thank you.

TY ! Your vid told me more than most , hopeing for some relief soon ! I have Swelling around the mid foot pad , but have a stinging pain at the base of the big toe but the pains not constant , usual? 🤔

thanks million for your grate explanations and advices, rally helpful

I went to a podiatrist. He was useless. I learned much more in your video than the office visit with him.

ok- you said to let you know. I have a fatty lipoma on my left tibial. I went to Syracuse for the diagnose- as here, they said I had tarsal tunnel. Surgery not recommended. I do shots 1x a yr...and tons of stretches, i am very active..biking hiking paddling..and line dancer...... Now, my second toe is hurting. I feel this is all connected.. yet getting worse. I feel like something is just off? Maybe i should come see you!

Had my sciatic nerve cut in my hip/glute area 4 months ago. It's been very painful to say the least. I still have a good bit of foot neuropathy in my lert side along with the calf and hamstring. I was fortunate to not have foot drop but I drive semi trucks and I'm going to try to work again next week....bad idea? Don't have a neurologist appointment until august.

Thanksa lot. You cleared many doubts.

What do you do for 2nd toe pain? It’s like a shooting pain. It’s starting to curl as well.
