Any one from 2024😊
The podiatrist I went to was totally useless, giving me no information on my condition, ball of the foot pain. He gave me a cortisone shot and sent me on my way. About a week later I developed a hammer toe (second toe) and went back to him. Again, no information just recommended a shoe cushion insert for my shoe. THIS VIDEO, explains my plantar plate & hammer toe issue. BOTTOM LINE: SEE GOOD DOCTOR!

Sorry to hear. Your podiatrist is an absolute fool. I've seen four of them in my time. Three of them were absolute garbage, bottom dwelling excuses for doctors. One is a saint and a miracle worker. It's really difficult to find a good one. Most of their treatments are garbage bin diagnoses you can find on TH-cam. Orthotics will cause problems elsewhere in the body. Steroids are contraindicated because they can cause a tendon rupture or arthritis. Their standard of care is objectively malpractice. Good podiatry care is the exception to the rule.
Same. I feel you. My foot doctor was absolutely useless. I ended up with V signs. That is the bottom line.
Me too. Told me its bunoin....i dont have a bonion
thank you! Best explanation of my issue that I've seen. I'm so grateful to have a clear explanation of how the capsulitis I experienced could have led to my plantar plate tear.
This is an outstanding explanation. Wish you were in NYC, Doc. You’d have a new patient. I have this exact issue and you made it quite clear. Many thanks.
We need more Doctors like you. I went to podiatrist and didn’t explain about the pain. All I got was pad to put under my foot.
That’s a disgrace. Send him an invoice with interest and penalties. You paid him to at least TRY to solve your problem and he stole your money under false pretense
Thanks doctor for this video it was really helpful.
My father is also facing this problem.
Found what I have been searching. Thank you doc
Great summary and I hope to speak with my doctor about the solution for me.
Very clear and concise explanation. Most appreciated!
You are so clear. Wish you were in NYC.
FINALLY!! A great explanation of my issues. I guess I do need to have bunion surgery in order to fix my second toe pain on both feet. Now to find a foot doctor in Austin Tx who knows what they’re doing. I’m taking this video with me and if I hear one more doctor telling me it’s because of my diabetes I’m playing it for their education! Thank you 🙏 doctor ♥️
Good luck and I hope that you got it treated and resolved. :)
Did you ever get it fixed?
@@MikeyFnBrennan No I haven’t been able to find a good doctor. I’m still limping around. Thanks for asking.
very good explained Dr....thankyou
Excellent, spent since Aug 22 here in Brit to get a diagnosis, let alone treatment or cure or physio ?
My 2 metatarsal is raised and the ball of my feet are a literal pain.
Physical therapy told me to do toe raises after my bunionectomy. I had the pain then but didn't know what it was. I should have said something. I don't know if toe raises help or hurt capsulitis. Sometimes I can do them without pain, sometimes it does hurt.
I had a freak accident that caused me to very obviously dislocate my second MTP joint. I was able to put it back into place and it eventually healed, but now my second toe sticks up exactly like in the image you show! I tape my toe down and have virtually no pain in my foot except for where my toe sticks up and rubs against my show if it's not taped down and stretching does seem to help.
The best advice I got in 2024
I think I have this (no bunion though) but there are also symptoms of neuroma just not as acute. The problem is my foot spasms and sometimes has severe cramps at night and it's ruining my sleep. I do okay during the day but there's something about lying down that destabilizes my foot and makes everything worse.
I've been wearing custom orthotics for over 15 years now, I find I am just as much in pain and I tried 4 or 5 different suppliers.
Thanks so helpful, and I am a nurse with experience selling high-end technical sports footwear 👍👍
The first specialist put me in a medical boot after seeing my xray - yep - capsulitis. Tylenol for pain/inflammation. Then she moved back to Atlanta :(
2nd specialist fixed my BAD bunion, yet after recovering, I still had the "ball of foot" pain and hammer toe.
Currently am on the 3rd specialist who first did 3 injections (needle), then oral, then a medical boot... NO RELIEF... I'm supposed to start physical therapy, yet am skeptical.
Someone suggested the Mayo clinic - I'm thinking I'm so tired of having a BANDAID, I want it fixed because my quality of life is NOT cool right now.
THANKS for the video - it's awesome!
Did you ever get an answer and good treatment? I'm in the same boat.
P. B. No, I haven’t...
I wish they shortened my second toe when they did my bunionectomy but they didn't. Now I work 8 hours a day with capsulitis and it makes me lazy when I'm off.
Thank you for this video. I did a long hike in some runners last year and have been in so much pain since. There was nothing in my ultrasound or xray. I thought maybe it was a hairline fracture. My joints are very mobile and pain radiates from top and bottom of 2nd metatarsal head. I definitely front load and have tight calves. I appreciate the info from this video!
Did it get better? I am in severe pain in my second toe. On day five of max OTC pain meds.
@@MisterBenjaminDu Asking multiple random people on TH-cam if theirs got better will not make yours get any better any faster. Go to a doctor and push to get imaging and figure out what's wrong. This condition is pesky and often times needs surgery.
Bro me too, How are you now? What did you do?
I've been having unbelievable pain exactly where you have described it gets so much worse when I get off work and take my shoes off to the point I can barely walk I have had the pain for awhile but now today it has me literally grabbing the wall to help me walk at least now I have somewhat of a idea of what could be wrong thank you for the video
Did this get better? I am in severe pain right now, on day 5. Wondering how long this will last.
Please let me know too. It's been about 4 weeks for me now. When does it go away
@@SeanMack1 Asking multiple random people on TH-cam if theirs got better will not make yours get any better any faster. Go to a doctor and push to get imaging and figure out what's wrong. This condition is pesky and often times needs surgery. You won't know anything without imaging and don't even know if you have capsulitis, a plantar plate tear or a morton's neuroma
@@crispycruiser4654 I understand that now lol. Thank you
I have this issue right now and have had it for about 4 months. I am having to put a silicone type spacer between my big toe and 2nd toe and then tape them together when I want to play tennis. Often times I get a terrible burning sensation in the knuckle of the 2nd toe joint. Much like when you crack your knuckles in your hand but when it "snaps" like a knuckle crack does, that is when that nasty burning sensation occurs. I went to a podiatrist and he had xrays done and they didn't show anything really out of the norm. he suggested CT Scan to see if there was maybe a small fracture. Either way, I am coming out of this no further ahead.
I have this problem my foot pronate and I wear Walmart shoes to walk around the track I will be getting new shoes I don't have crooket feet yet how do I get rid of the little knot that hurts? I just notice it I didn't have socks on so I limped all day thanks
Thanks Dr,
Your video let me know about morton's neuroma 🦶 I have pain from running 🏃♂️
I'm getting an MRI next week. I have had a painful ball and very swollen second toe for a month. Ugh, I just want to know what the problem is. Also had plantar fasciitis.
Hello doctor
It was nice that i finally found wat i was searching for. I didnt know it was called hammer toe.
I fell down from the building and i have two feet broken very badly. Doctor said i have problem in calcanius but i also have problem in may left and right toes. Hammer toe in both feet big finger . I am not able make it straight and while walking more pressure on the big toe and it hurts is there any way i can treat that and how much time it might take to be normal.
I had this problem after playing ball hockey for 2hrs. I can barely walk and hurts when moving the 2nd toe. What’s the best way to heal it?
Hi doctor. I have flatfeet issue on both feet. I have pain at my talus, their sticking out. I have pain under the arches.
I am 40 and just started walking an extra amount in the mornings lately... the other day, I thought I felt a blister developing and I was convinced this morning on my walk when I felt a "tearing/burning" sensation right in between or on the 2nd or 3rd joint of my foot. Lo and behold my surprise in the shower when not only is there no blister, but the skin on my foot is actually very soft and showing no signs of wear or tear. Since the walking started, I noticed that my gait and posture is not natural and becomes unbalanced once I start to get tired so thinking this and also a bad shoe is the cause? Will keep a close eye and try some other things, but thank you for this video!
Sir my moms right leg feet thumb has turning outside. As the x ray you showed, the thumb is turning inside, my moms thumb is getting opposite outside. The rest 4 fingers are also turning towards the thumb. What to do? Can u please help me doctor
I got it immediately after trimalleaor fracture surgery soon as nerve block wore off stinging exactly in that spot even though non weightbearing a month. 9 months later still got it
I have an issue that has developed into a small callus, about the size of a nickel.. originally I did some homework on it and was convinced it was Morton's neuroma?!? Now the fact there is a callous, I don't know but it hurts walking unless I have a shoe on?? I still don't know what I have as it seems between 2nd and 3rd toe? Only on one foot?... it's getting worse. As I said there is even a callous now and rubbing it or walking is getting very painful. Please someone give info or a video that may explain a cause or better yet some home remedy to ease this situation.
thank you very much very helpful
I have this on the second and third toe. I wear Altra running shoes that are flat an have a lot of cushion. Could these type of shoes be causing more harm? This problem started in my left foot and now both feet have it.
My podiatrist is telling me I need to rest the foot in a low top rocker bottom cam boot. Is this really going to help???
Thank you very knowledgeable.
I have dry inside my feet it’s stiff between and around root of feet fingers also but over the skin of that area it’s normal almost , plez what is it and what to do , thanks
This explains so much! Thank you very much!!
thank you!
What a great video I wish you were in Florida. I have second toe capsulitis in the left foot. I was given a Cortizone injection and it helped immediately and everything was fine now two months later it’s acting up again and from what I understand I can’t get another injection for at least another month or 90 days after the first one.
I got the exact same problem. Can't find a way to get rid of the inflammation other than the Cortizone injection - so frustrating. I can hardly step on my right foot.
@@levamiy1 same issue here. Thinking of ice or heat treatments. I dunno. It hurts 😡 💩
I have this, I jump rope to burn off stress, this is not easy for me to get around, I gotta find away around this, I just bought brooks beast shoes, and stopped jumping rope, i stair climbed for exercise and I can tell it’s acting up a bit
Its all because of gym class. They make us do side shuffles and everything I do them the middle of my foot feels like it's tearing. It's happening on both my feet.
So I felt a tearing sensation today at the bottom of my foot I get here and there sometimes so I thought it was nothing just that it was time for me to get off my feet I have high arches I was diagnosed with a bunion in my left foot my right foot was never looked at sense I didn't complain about any pain in it but today I got that tearing sensation in my right foot and not only that my 2nd and 3rd toe that use to separate are almost stuck together and it is extremely difficult for me to move them apart no mater how fair my other toes spread apart they stay stuck side by side together or barely move enough to make a noticeable gap i don't know what it is and I don't know if I should rush to see a doctor or wait for my appointment in a week or so it feels a bit Like a burning sensation and it feels almost stiff it also hurts a bit down the middle of both toes when I try to pull them a bit apart
I've been having this pain of the second MTP of the right* foot. I was worried there was a FO on the plantar side where the toe grows out of the foot or I was having arthritis. It is a morton's toe.
I've taped the hallux to my second toe. There is a great space between the two since birth. Come to find out, this is a home remedy.
Feels like my toe is suffering as it were too long and the joints are being compacted. Painful.
How would you know if the bone is dead on the second toe ?
I have this in my third MTP right now. Hurts a lot.
I'm quite certain I have this condition right now, plus I have bunions on both feet, but it's my right foot that's giving me discomfort.
Can this happen if you have a great toe amputation?
I have a little bump on my toe. I was thinking about doing surgery on it.
Is this the same as 2nd MTP Synovitis?
Thank you for a well laid out explanation.
I am on day 5 of severe pain, probably the worst pain I have felt from an injury. But strangely there was no acute injury event. I just woke up one day and it started hurting and has gone worse every day. X rays didn’t show anything, I see a podiatrist this week.
What was the update? Did podiatrist have valid feedback? Did you have any specific insole, or adjustments that helped with the feeling. I have the exact problem.
BRO THANKSS
Damn.. the pain mostly similar like Gout..
Thanks bro 💯

What kind of shoe? A rocker shoe?
I developed this at the worst possible time. My mother is in the hospital and I have to walk a mile through corridors to get to her room every day.
This sounds like a nightmare. Hope things are better now!
Now I know what the pain on my foot is.
I think its from running in Altras. Although I love them and they probably help in other areas. I think Altras wide toe area puts more stress on the weaker toes than the regular running shoe which bunches up the foot making big piggy do most of the work. Well I'm gonna try cbd, use the step machine instead of running and maybe wrap up my foot somehow at work.
I agree it could be the Altras. I was wearing 3 diiferent altra sneakers in last few years and now ball of foot is killing me. After different sneakers , orthotics, and laser therapy i'm still in pain. This condtion is a nightmare !!
I think I got mine from Alras too. They are great shoes but need a long transition time which I did not do
Me too.
How to choose perfect shoes for walking and running .
I m facing this pain from last few days and I think it's because of my shoes.
First thing I will be doing after lockdown is buying good new shoes.
I got some custom shoes from Roadrunner; (I don't work for them) they are worth a look and open in Los Angeles. They make custom insoles and sell shoes designed for custom insoles
I have this, but i also have had big toe (bunion)surgery 3.5 years ago This condition is a nightmare.Have tried injections and all different types of orthotics and sneakers and still no relief. It hurts to drive with your right foot on the gas pedal . Don't know what to do. About ready to quit working and sit home after thousands and thousands spent on these conditions !!!!
Vick Hones - Why not have it Surgically removed! I’m having my bunion surgery done this year! This will make my 8th foot surgery! I have mine on the right foot smh. 🤦🏽♀️ Good Luck 🍀. My problems are from Genetics
OMG are you my husband?! He was thinking it was gout, then metatarsalgia but I stumbled upon this video and he always says it hurts to press the brake pedal. I know this had to be it because he has been in excruciating pain for almost 4 weeks now and apparently a gout attack should not be that long) and the ball of his foot is so swollen, plus he feels like he is getting a hammer toe because he has little to no movement in that toe. What the heck, I hope he can get help. We are living abroad and this seriously affects his job.
Is there any medicine for this?
Does the pain get worse and end up in your toe? That's what's happening with me. It feels like I broke my toe but it started with ball of foot pain and now severe pain in toe as well
Me to,after walking for time the soles of my feet start to burn lt get worse the more l walk ,then the pain goes in to my toes
Me too
Same but after i searched for this video now it stopped 😂😂
@@jendarlings me too!
@@barbarafranklin8622 Also have same issue. When ever it start I don't understand my body and it goes worst at night
So it's my second toe that hurt the most and the third a little . It's a pinching feeling. What's happening to me?
Damn samee
Morton’s Neuroma.
I'm wondering why my second toe is hurting very bad I'm wondering what causing it to pain
My second toe is causing me so much pain getting an x-ray tomorrow can just about walk, feels like I’m walking on marbles.
@@pravinabahadur6959 sounds like a morton's neuroma. Did you manage to find out what was the diagnosis?
Hmm I was told I have Morton's nueroma but maybe I don't 🙃
It actually feels like my middle toe atm though
My doctor swears I have Morton’s neuroma, but my symptoms are literally only on the second toe and I cannot curl it. The ball of my foot hurts, but under that toe.
Did you finally get it resolved through a doctor?
@@studiowizard6286 I did, it turned out to be intermetatarsal bursitis and not a neuroma. It’s basically very similar symptoms and the same exact treatment for it. The anti-inflammatory meds I was on did the trick for me, and wearing toe separators with crocs helped a lot. Within 3 months I was ok. Unfortunately my pain came back about 3 months ago and it’s now scar tissue so I’m seeing my doctor again.
That's exactly like what I have. Doc swears it's a neuroma but my 2nd toe is killing me and the ball of my foot is tender. I can't take NSAIDS so I'm miserable.
@@marlynnek6449 I’m so sorry you’re going through this! Try adding turmeric to your diet, whether it be supplements or the root itself. Eat dark greens as well, they help with inflammatory issues. I also started to use my toe separators in the beginning of the injury. It really does help to separate the inflamed bursa and reduce pain. I found out my tibial sesamoid bone has fractured and I have arthritis in the ball of my foot due to the scar tissue. It gets better when I wear crocs. I wore them for 5 months and now I can wear my sneakers (vans) for about 3 hours at a time. Slowly but surely it gets better. I found a podiatrist that uses heat laser therapy on my foot. I’ve researched and it’s a placebo for some, but for me it actually helped. It broke down some of the scar tissue and distracted me from my pain. I’m getting a final MRI next week to see if it healed I wish you the best!!
Mine too, they say there's no arthritis but my plantar plate's sore too. Poor us ,🤗
Can this be surgically removed?
I have to have my 8 foot surgery, yes 8th very bad foot genetics! I will have my right foot Bunionectomy and correction of the 4th tor hammer toe! This very painful! I’m also suffering Sciatica from a acute lower back injury. I also suffer with a AAA Narrow Heel & B Width wide foot!
What are somethings I can do for comfortable until I’m able to have surgery?
I am getting this due to planter fascitis in the heel
Make sure to ice and strengthen. It has worked for me. No pain and I can walk just fine.
What Excercises to strengthen? Please give examples of strengthening?
Can heat application help in second toe capsulitis or it is not recommended?
OMG I have both the bunion and 2nd toe problems! It hurts every time I dance :(
Same! I have a bunion on my pinky toe and the pain between my 2nd toe and big toe hurts to walk and always feels like a throbbing pain!
Should I try one of those hand thumper massagers
I was wondering that. Whether to knead and pummel, or rest
this started happening to me suddenly overnight. I've been walking with a limp all day. I hurts when i let my foot off the gas pedal, it even hurts just sitting down. I do have a bunion but am surprised at how quickly it became so painful. Didnt exist yesterday but exists today. Also, I sit quite a bit because of my office job so i dont understand what triggered this suddenly
I got mine after I bought different gym shoes. They were wider and Bam! Rt foot capsulitis 😥 now it hurts. This sux
Do you guys feel better? Same for me. I’m miserable it’s been 3 weeks
@@alexandriaaymelek317 the pain lasted about a week and just went away on its own. doctors didn't know what could have caused it.
@@greciawhite6413 Omg mine still hurts going on week 3. Hurts soooo bad. My podiatrist said it’s capsulitis and gave me an injection and it didn’t help me.
@@alexandriaaymelek317 my index toe starting hurting out of nowhere. it’s weird because I didn’t wear any tight shoes lately, but I did wear tight socks so maybe that could of explained it? also, there’s like this bump, but it’s my bone I think so I’m not ever sure what it is.

Calf stretch. (should have known it was from not stretching...)
I wonder how many foot problems they have in India where they just wear sandals. These crappy shoes... my feet are a wreck. There should be class action suits against these big shoe companies that have ruined the feet of so many people.
Should I get a "zero drop" shoe ?
I think altras are great but also think since they have a wide toebox they might make middle toes work harder than in a regular shoe. Not a doctor but I think that's why I have this problem or I just pushed myself to hard.
Wow! That is what I have. I had a bunion. Have had 3 surgeries on the big toe. But, when you see my foot. The second joint hits the surface first before the rest of the foot hits the surface.
My doctor diagnosed me with this. I have the pain in my middle toe.
Can u please tell me how u cured that?
Meee too
Me three 😁
@@815donalduck Why don't you people go to a doctor and, I don't know, push for imaging?
you have capsulitis of the second toe, in the third toe?
My capsulitis on my left foot is killing me. Metatarsal pads help. But once they are off, it is like a crushing pain. I walk with a cane like an old man.
Lmao, same mine happened because of jumping from a high place the my toe is the first one to hit the ground
@@kenlaider5409 Follow up: I went to the podiatrist and she shaved off some of the thick callous on my metatarsal. The paint went away in an instant. It was a miracle. Who knew that a couple millimeters of callous could cause such crushing pain?
This has everything to do with learning to walk properly. Casts and inserts only prolong the misery.
Learn to walk correctly again. Thats the solution
Okay, so I have this problem that I felt suddenly last night. The second joint from the tip of my second toe, like not the one under the nail, but the one right next to it suddenly stated hurting. I can’t even touch it or bend it. I can touch the sides of it, I can touch the base of it, but can’t touch the upper side of it or can’t even bend it. I don’t know why this sudden pain. The shoe hurts now as it touches the toe. Can you please please tell me what possibly the reason is? It didn’t hit anything and I didn’t walk much yesterday either, but it hurts like anything. Please I need to know the reason and the thing that if it’s serious and I need to see a doctor or it will go off by the time.
Anna Kazmi same. I had this exact same situation. Ive had foot injuries in the past but none to my second toe. I also don’t have a bunion. But all the sudden both of my second toes started hurting like hell. Did your issue go away?
I am suffering with same problem. I am going to jogging since last 4 months & suddenly found this problem has occurred with me. Did you find any treatment for that
@@sleepy1864 Did you find any solution by now? Thanks.
@@levamiy1 honestly, i can’t remember what my issue was now because i had so many other foot issues going on at the time. i eventually had foot surgery because i had a ganglion cyst imbedded in one of my other toes. issues seemed to resolve afterwards
physical therapy seemed to help a bit, as well as foot soaks (alternating between hot and cold water) and using a massage ball on my foot
@@sleepy1864 Thank you very much - glad everything has improved!
