I woke up with this pain. The day before I was very busy and on my feet all day until about 10p. The pain does not allow me to stand or walk normally. I’m walking on my heal but with pain. This is not discomfort. This is very painful for me and sensitive to the touch.
This is one of the most frustrating injuries! At first I did not know it was cuboid related so I kept running on it for a couple weeks, as it was a dull pain, thought it was just something that would eventually go away. Then after having it worked on by a PT, it was as if back to normal, but then two days later I felt it pop back out, and I was back to being "injured." So then I did exactly as this video showed, and it felt much better, but it still feels tender, and that foot just doesn't feel as strong as it use to before this injury. I am very apprehensive about attempting to run again, will it just keep popping out?. So frustrating because I am training for a race, and when I try to just go for a walk (3 miles or so), I still feel this dull pain exactly there start to come up. Tried icing it too. When will I fully be able to run on it again, jump, sprint etc?! Ughhh this is such a bummer as someone who is use to running every day.
I'm a runner as well. you ever heal over this injury? I never felt mine pop but it's definitely an injury I got running . time to switch shoes and try to do this exercise
@@AndrewEvenstar Yes fortunately I did! I simply took enough time off, and it healed up. I was extremely frustrating to say the least. I also went to a physical therapist and let them work on it, and they had me do many strengthening exercises as well, and that all helped to have it eventually heal and now I am back to fully running.
Thank you so much Dr.David Middaugh. My name is Liz Henkels nice to meet you. Much appreciated for all your videos! I love how you explained everything in detail for us to be aduaction
Hey Liz! You are so welcome! We strive to be as educational as possible so that we can not only help our viewers relieve or fix their issues, but also to help them understand why it is happening so that they can avoid it in the future!
I really appreciate your videos. You explain the problem clearly and give solutions. My chiropractor/PT had me do the rotator cuff exercises you said were wrong. I currently have the cuboid issues due to an injury, but I will look up your videos if my shoulder starts to hurt again.
There's literally a bump on top of my foot in that exact area and if you squeeze the metatarsal area together width-wise I will SCREAM because it hurts so badly. I have ankle pain and severe tightness up my calf but the only toe that won't curl is the one beside my big toe. I've had xrays, mri's, seen the most useless podiatrist who told me to wear birkenstocks as a fix when both my feet were swollen to double the size, and the kindest sports medicine physician; no one has suggested this. The latter told me it might be a cyst; the mri techs forgot to put a marker in the spot as well! Out of that they found "minimal intertarsal bursitis/effusion, tenosynovitis of flexor hallucis longus at the proximal aspect along the undersurface of the hind foot/midfoot" which they said was incompletely imaged, and "mild thickening and increased fluid signal intensity without defect or retraction involving the posterior talofibular and calcaneofibular ligaments likely relating to prior partial injury." Despite this, I still have no treatment plan and I'm so tired of being in pain. I'm about to see a physiatrist and will definitely bring this up. I have had this issue for TWO years now! I can't work because I can't walk more than 90 minutes and then need a break for days before I can be that active again.
U can use toe spacer to enlarge gaps between your toes over some time. With the toes stretched to the side the cuboid will have more space to fit in. It will get better over night
I hope you discuss Peroneal Tendon injuries! If you had an injury 60 years ago, that I found was torn on the lateral aspect of the foot/ankle, below the Tibial joint. It was caused by an ankle turn injury, but it healed and never bothered me for 59 years! Can this be helped and healed AGAIN, so surgical intervention is not necessary? Thanks 😊
I actually have a sizable bump on the outside of my foot that so tender and red. It doesn’t bother me at all when running but afterwards it’s tender to touch. It wakes me out at night throbbing like a toothache. What the heck can one do?
Hey Mary, Thank you so much for your kind words. 🧡 We do have the option to have a Virtual Consultation if you are interested you can check out the link here: www.epmanualphysicaltherapy.com/virtual-visit/ We appreciate you!
The side of my foot only hurts when I wear gym shoes or tennis shoes but when I wear my metarsal work boots I usually have no issues unless I rub the side of my foot for it
Hey Lynne! We are not exactly sure to what "bar" you're referring to, perhaps you're referring to the captions/subtitle bar. If you could please elaborate on this that would be great, we'd love to help clarify cuboid syndrome for you. We've never had this be a concern in the past.

It burns in that area on my foot
Mine's too. It feels like a stabbing burning pain.
Can sports tape work for this type of injury

Wear ‘barefoot shoes’ use a bouncy ball to massage sole of the foot - you might find the foot arch area is stiff
You are the best yet
Thanks Larry!

Very informative!

As soon as you said it hurts all the time during all activities I was like nope I don't have this. It's definitely my peroneus longus injury...
I wish I lived nearby. I’d be coming to your clinic!

I tried to look for your second video on this and I cannot find it.
Same. My toes evenly curl. This Syndrome throws out my talus bone and causes knee pain so I am desperately looking for something else to try.
God bless you Sir
Hi Viktor! 👋 Thank you for the blessings! 🙌
Excellent
The side of my foot only hurts when I wear gym shoes or tennis shoes but when I wear my metarsal work boots I usually have no issues unless I rub the side of my foot for it
This sounds like your peroneal tendon watch some videos on it👍
It would be nice to see what he is doing theres a bar right ovet the foot
