@@kieranfitzsimons8786 I hope it will. I'm no doctor, but I've had quite a bunch of people write in that it has helped them. Best of luck!

@@BRAVEONPRECIOUS glad to help!

@researcher4good Thanks. I did not have tension. I tested the brakes, pulled the e brake pin, and only one side worked. They should all lock up. Thats why I adjusted them. The mechanism only works to ratchet more tension if it is working properly.

@@The000buckshot , gotcha. They sell brake adjuster kits with all the parts: adjuster wheel, cable, plates and springs. I suggest taking the drum off and seeing if it's needed. It might just need a dab of grease on the wheel threads or the cable may not be in the right spot.

Any updates? I'm trying everything lol and I feel stiff and or sharp pain on the balls of my feet.

@mr.meeseeks6549 my feet are doing well. I took a break thinking I was good to go, but I had to start doing it again. The only update I can give for now is that when I stand straight & even on my memory foam yoga mat for a minute, then step off, I can see how my feet and toes imprint. I find my problem toes tend to lift a bit and not print in the mat. I haven't had any problems in a while now, but I try to remain aware of this and try to keep my toes down. Walk with the purpose of pushing my toes down each step. I also stretch them by pointing my feet down, aiming my leg back a bit, curling my toes, then press into the floor. Do this standing up or sitting in a dining chair so you can put your foot under and behind you a bit. A good stretch (no pain) over the shin.

Actually started making a difference within a few days. Other viewers also said it worked quickly. I am surprised at how many people have watched this video. Thank you, and best of luck!

Primarily the affected area. Two to five minutes. Best of luck!

@@The000buckshot I don't have it. My friend does. I give him the massage, to help with the pain and he stretches a lot. The thing is, it's too painful sometimes when I massage the area, even with low pressure and I take longer times and, when I do around the area - so it's less painful for him - it doesn't do much. He does the same walk, as on the other video you posted, on the outside of his feet when it's hurting.

@ianariemr3572 For me I don't think too much stretching is good. Needs to have some strengthening as well. Need to build up that pad/ball of the foot.

Unfortunately, it is a marketing ploy used to make people think it will last a long time. People buy it as I did, thinking it could be the last one they'll ever have to purchase. Then they get ya when something isn't covered under warranty.

I move had this pain for 3-4 months. Can’t wait to try this.

Awesome! So glad to hear it is helping!

@@jasonstone5022 Good luck!

@@The000buckshot Thank you. Has yours improved? and Happy 4th.

@jasonstone5022 It has. Been doing pretty good.

Thanks for commenting. The shaft of the new screw is matched with the old one. The head of the screw is the only thing different. I added the washer because of this.

Thanks Jody. For me, I've always been very active. I started with a heavy band for about two minutes per foot, just sitting in my lazy-boy doing the toe presses. Now I do around 20 minutes, while we watch our show in the evening. I also have an updated video that shows more exercises. I tried to keep it short. I pray it does work for you!

@@The000buckshot I hope so too, Thanks Brother!

Bet of luck!

What are the bands called ?

I honestly have to say, I have more shoes than most people ever need. My physician assistant told me to wear good orthopedic shoes, etc, but nothing was helping. I did try some gel metatarsalgia pads www.amazon.com/dp/B00QQQIH8E?ref_=cm_sw_r_apan_dp_W9CWZC6NHS482Q351Z1C, but nothing was helping. That's why I came up with my own exercises. I am not a fan of surgery, so I felt I was on my own. After it helped me so quickly, I thought I should share it. Thanks for watching, and I wish you the best.

Oofos sandals around the house, clouds under your forefoot

I am glad I can offer my ideas, and help others!

And you're welcome!

You're welcome.

For the most part, yes. However, I have to keep doing exercises or it starts coming back. Thanks.

An extended version with more exercises.

You're welcome!

You are very welcome! Glad I could help!

Thanks! I do keep my pain managed for the most part. I slack off and it starts to come back. I agree surgery is only for if there's definitely no other option. I would try to use a light band to start with, and on the affected toes. Good luck!

@@The000buckshot Good that you can, so far, self manage your condition. Did you ever get it checked out, with x-ray or ultrasound etc...? Point taken regarding the light band first, having a choice of five. I'll also initially limit the first few tries for a couple of minutes or so to see how it goes.

@Morgan No, not x-rays. My PA told me to wear orthotics is all. TH-cam research. What pointed me this direction was the explanation that metatarsalgia was "irritated tarsals", briefly.

@@The000buckshot Fair enough. I decided to go for x-rays / ultrasound etc to rule out anything that could be "fixable" in terms of bone fractures or something else, as the pain seemed to be long lasting. Then again non specific type metatarsalgia or PF can be also long lasting. At least you are managing to help yourself with your situation. FWIW I also use metatarsal pads, just fitted behind the metatarsal heads. They are helpful.

I’m behave two horizontal Patches near the end of my toes and sharp pain between fingers two and three. Is that metatarsalgal. What do I need to do? I did do a lot of walking and my sketches were tight in the front near my toes- I have broad feet. Please advise what I should do to heal this pain soonest

Hi! Thanks for your interest. So, if I remember correctly, it just slides onto the first burner. I admit it doesn't show very well, but towards the end, there is a short clip of me sliding it into place. To take it off, it would slide into the firebox. You would have to grab and pull from inside. Maybe I'll have to do a short that will show this. Thanks again! Good luck, I hope this helps!

Thanks for your answer. I did get the igniter off, buy using. screwdriver and pushing the metal slide hard. It was really stuck. I appreciate your video.

Hi! My pain was between the tarsals. Oddly, I couldn't really feel where it was exactly when I massaged it by hand. It started when I took a step with the right foot (the one that had the pain) and made a left turn. It progressed to the point where I was walking on the inside or outside of my foot to avoid the tender area. I knew I had to do something at that point. Orthotics were of no use. Surgery isn't the best option either. Thanks for watching, I hope this helps you!

Wow! Thanks for watching! I work in construction/home building. Lately I've been on an 8:12 roof, which is fairly steep. This has caused me some issues, because obviously I have to rely a lot on my stance. I agree that the atrophy may have a lot to do with it as well. I have to keep up on these exercises, and I still am trying to get back to the six mile runs I used to do. It is a struggle sometimes. Keep up the good work though! I hope you can beat it!

Oh, and I wear a more solid soled shoe. Something I can't feel rocks through, that will sometimes set it off again.

@@The000buckshot I feel the same. It's as if the fat pad is not as thick anymore, and the ball of that foot will always be more vulnerable to rocks and similar aggressions. Thanks! I still keep the hope that I will get rid of the problem or at least learn to control it enough so that I will forget about it and be able to go back to running again! Wish you the same!!

I'd just like to add that in my case Orthotics seem to help up to a certain point.. but I do think exercises like the one in your video is the way to try to fix the problem permanently!

For anyone that finds this response, found another thing that seems to work. Find a corner, place your toes and ball of foot on the wall at a 45 degree angle or so with the heel still on the floor and lean into it like a calf stretch. Has loosened up the pain on the ball of the foot for me.

I'm not sure what it could be. Mine was underneath between the first and second toes.

Hi! Thanks for watching! I still (rarely) step on something in the area that was affected, and I cringe. It started working right away making a difference in my foot. I have had several people tell me that it also worked for them pretty quickly. I have been amazed that it has helped others. A dream come true for me. My symptoms were similar to mortons neuroma, but I decided to self diagnose it as metatarsalgia. Good luck!

Crawdad, crayfish, very similar to shrimp I think. Fresh water critters with pinchers.

@@The000buckshot oh, just another way to call crawfish?

Awesome! Great to hear!

Thank you! And you're welcome! Tickled because this has helped at least a few people!

I am a pt. Its embarrassing that orthopadic doctors and even myself or other pts didnt know how to help in footproblems! This Shows how easy severe problems could be solved. James god bless you and maybe you find a solution for a hallux limitus :)...

You are just doing this to one big toe, or all toes

Inorite!
