POLL QUESTION: Did ANY of these Big Toe Joint Pain Treatment TIPS work for YOU? LET US KNOW! 🦶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
I only wanted an xray so I could see what the problem was.Right away the doctor scheduled me for an orthodic fitting and scheduled me for surgery.I had only experienced pain 3 days! So I thank you for you for your excellent expert counsel.Thank you so much.
Five fingers fixed my big toe. The consistent splicing of my big toe away from the rest is all I needed to find immense relief. Ditched any shoes that scronched my toe
This was the most informative video ever on big toe pain! I've been dealing with this for year, not really understanding what I have - now there's a plan! Thank you!
This is all good information for pain relief but it doesn't help your feet and the degeneration will continue. Why is no one talking about rehab and strengthening the feet. By immobilizing the foot you also run the risk of atrophy in the surrounding muscles which leads to further instability and risk of injury, especially as you get older. Secondly there are no shoe options for wide feet and the rigid sole (except maybe Altra I haven't tried these yet) and the problem is simple to describe, most shoes are not the shape of your foot. I was wearing shoes that were half size large and 4e width and the problem still existed, my big toe was being pushed inward and causing pain just from the fabric on top of the joint and it was worse if I wasn't standing or moving. For me I have gone barefoot, it allows me to align my big toe properly with the help of toe separators and when my big toe is properly aligned I don't get pain from the lack of dorsiflexion, just limited in movement. I now can't wear any of my traditional shoes anymore. I used to suffer from inversion as a kid and some flat footedness, now my arches are back and I feel the muscles in my feet changing and working in ways I never used to feel. This may not be for everyone since we are all individuals, I am mid-50s and have been strength training for a few years and would consider myself above average wrt to my fitness. My job is at a desk so I can moderate my physical activity to what I do at the gym. All these factors have given me the opportunity to attack this problem differently and I am now hopeful that this can be managed long term, where last year I had almost resigned to the fact that I may need surgery soon. There is so much information out there about feet and foot conditions in general that I think we all need to look at everything and work out some of this for ourselves.
Thank you so much for this video. I have been working in extreme pain for the past 6 months. I finally saw a podiatrist but didn’t get this kind of information. I found the best shoes with hardly any movement that keep my toe rigid (HOKA brand) quite expensive but relieves the pain. I taped the toe up today and find that helps too. Thank you so much 🙂

Thank you! I have an excellent foot Dr. but he did not show me taping or exercises or rolling, just left it all for the p.t. and I have not seen results in 3 years. Now I'm going to do it myself and I'm so thankful for all the info!
I've been having pain in my left big toe occasionally for a long time and it has been pretty constant for weeks now. I just tried the taping and it feels so much better right away. Thank you!! Going to make an appointment soon to get it looked at.

Mine started as a sprain.. i thought it would heal on it's own.. it didnt (i didnt know what to do to help it) now it is hallux ridigous ..thank you for this great information
I hv been dealing with that toe pain for 2 years. I was starting to hv knee issues. I bought a carbon fiber orthotics as you suggested and taped and my pain went away in a day!
Oh, my goodness, the toe-taping is working SPLENDIDLY! First time in years I've been able to 'do my thing' (which includes exercising barefoot) with minimal discomfort. I've ordered a sole flattening orthotic too. Thank you so much!
@@WendyWahman Ah ok. I only ask because I had an Cartiva implant which is now failing 5 years later. But the taping has really helped combat the resurgence of pain for me. I will prob get a fusion soon.
@@Travis_22 I'm sorry the Cartiva implant failed, not sure what that is - but I've heard, and I think the doctors here mention it too, that the surgery doesn't last. Yea, I may end up getting the toe fused, but for now, like you and many of us, the taping makes it more tolerable. I just really don't want to start up with another doctor for another 'thing.'
Really helpful, thank you. Severely disabled son really struggling with an enlarged and painful left toe joint, seeing podiatrist in few days so can discuss potential hallux rigidus with him

Seeing an orthopedic Dr. on Wednesday. I've had this condition on and off for about 12 years. Comes and goes. It's at a point where there's a bone spur on the top of my foot and stiff shoes aren't helping anymore. Last few days have been difficult to walk. Starting to limp. Tried the duct tape method and can't believe how much better it is. Still hurts, but nothing like it was. Hoping he recommends inserts. Took pics of the foot duct taped to show him. And will definitely ask about exercises. Thanks so much.
I liked how you kept this to the point and even sped up the exercises. You also said what was coming up later at different times. I think I developed hallux limitus from stubbing my toe years ago on uneven sidewalk. Haven’t seen a doctor though.
Do you recommend weaning off the taping and orthotic when pain is better? Would long term use of the orthotic or taping contribute to further stiffness of the joint because it reduces natural big toe extension with walking?
Both my feet have it, X-rays show severe joint arthritis. The pain hasn't been debilitating, just bothersome. I can't even approach 90 degrees! They have me scheduled for fusion of the left one first.
Thank you!! I can’t believe the difference the duct tape alone made! I’ll be happy when Amazon delivers the carbon fiber insert, but the tape is already making life bearable.

Oh yeah, terrible foot pain, huge spur on top of my foot, pain so bad that I need to ice it every night so I can sleep. (I’m already on pain meds but keep that to a minimum). I’m a lifelong equestrian and have had bursitis in that hip for 25+ years…the toe pain has exacerbated the hip pain, so I’m now practically one legged. After 4+ years of injections and orthotics….(injections only work for a couple weeks now) I’m heading to surgery soon. I’ll definitely try the taping on top of everything else I’m doing while I’m waiting to get the fusion. Thanks for sharing these tips and info- very appreciated! M

The tape cast helped me so much. I was in so much constant pain I was kinda freaking out. My job requires walking. I'm having problems even putting weight on my foot.
Hi doctor, I know this is an old post. Hopefully you see my question. I have listened to so many of your videos and was hoping you could do one in the future on exercises or therapy for a toe fusion. I am seven weeks out and healed pretty well, I’m still in a boot so time will tell. I’ve had an issue with this tow for years and a cheilectomy years ago. Took care of the problem for a while and then decided on to fusion since my arthritis was so bad. Anyway, I would like to see exercise specifically for someone who has had a toe fusion. Thank you.
I’ve had this pain for years. My big toe on right side only. I’ve had it X-rayed and they said it’s not broken but it’s really painful. I’m an avid runner and it’s getting tougher to run or even walk and lunges are out of the question. I’m sure I’m damaging the other side of my body bc of continued running and pushing through the pain. I wish I knew what the cause is and how to treat it!
What is your opinion of sketchers I was diagnosed with halux ridgeous and replace joint surgery I haven’t done it yet I’m also having inside knee pain this makes sense I just started pt for knee
I used to work as a ramp agent and I injured my big toe from bending down stacking the bags. I have had 3 X-rays the past 3 years, all doctors say there is no structural damage but the last one diagnosed me with big toe arthritis. I was given a shot but that did absolutely nothing. I can bend my toe but it just hurts when I do it. I feel pain every step I take and am desperate to fix the problem. Thanks for your video.

Thanks for the tips, I had a irregular bone growth ground off big toe knock leg, hurt for 3 days. Got some movement back, I thin aggressive skying did it, landing jumps after back scratchers slamming toes in boot, made them blac n blue as a teen , bummer . I limped for years from a shattered femur from a ski accident. I think that brought the turf toe to a irregular bone growth? Limping sucks, walk proper even if ya gotta walk slow is what I believe, I will try some of the material covered , I do stretch my entire body daily, stretches I learned in Kung fu class and been doing for over 30 years now, thank you again.

I'm taping my big toe. I can only wear slippers now. shoes hurt the top of my foot. I'm thinking it may be nerves. I put my foot in warm water and the pain goes away. I have an appointment with a podiatrist. I'm going to get that insole. I don't want my foot to move when I walk. I will also do the exercises. I noticed when I do my floor exercises and yoga it does relieve the pain. I'm watching the diet of foods that don't cause inflammation it's a journey. And Thank you
I have a question; how effective is the new procedure of inserting a gel-type material between the bone of the toe to replace the missing cartilage? Please give me your opinion... TY.
I have hallux rigidus and my podiatrist recommends fusion but I am leaning more toward joint replacement such as the arthrosurface toemotion. Can you tell me your thoughts on joint replacement options vs fusion?
Hello there, just out of interest did you get this problem slowly come on over years and then become worse until it was an issue? I had nothing wrong initially as far as I knew.. was running often.. then just like.. 7 weeks ago all of a sudden out of the blue I got something that felt like a sprain in the big toe whilst running that turned into lasting toe joint pain.. wont go away now.. went to physio and they said hallux limitus. Now I guess I wont be doing anymore running. But was just interested in how this developed over time in someone else. I was watching another vid on fusions which is a permenent solution and less drastic surgeries (of just improving the join and removing excess bone), which offer appently good relief for a limited number of years.. seems fusion has very good and permenent results that allow people to do most things.. I saw a list of activities and a satisfaction survey.. some people even manage to keep running (which is surprising to me). Check with professionals but from what Ive heard about other artifical replacements they arent super long lasting and can fail.. and if they do it can limit other surgical options. But again, needs a professional opinion.. I'm just repeating what I've read. Who knows.. maybe down the line they'll workout how to use stemCells and rebuild the join.. but it doesnt seems to exist yet.. I guess that might take a few decades or more.
I drilled a hydraulic hole into the bottom of my left foot and screwed an industrial bolt about half inch diameter up into my foot and out the top, then wing-nutted it on from top. There is no more big toe tightness.
I’m going to try some of your tips. I got a big toe problem since I was 15. I’m 48 now the vein in my big toe is dead because I got shot in 15 in the leg over the years. My big toe is like a hammer toe and it pains for me to walk in shoes I’m at a point I don’t know what to do

I did break both big toes but have also been athletic most of my life (running, skiing, tennis, biking) and now have not only hallux rigidus (my podiatrist looked at the XRay and asked, "How are you even walking?") but the lack of big toe mobility has contributed to peroneal tendonitis and achilles tendonitis in my right foot which is the worst. What are your thoughts on "rocker" type shoes? I am currently in a 200 hour yoga teacher training and would really like to increase my toe mobility and decrease pain and aggravation
Dang! I’m in bed resting from todays left Great toe hemiarthroplasty….. i wish I’d seen this before. Probably would still have had the surgery since I had 80% cartilage loss so pretty much bone on bone, but the taping info would’ve really come in handy the last year!
Thank you so much! Very very useful! Thought my issue was my plantar as I had been advised of this before. Have even paid to do physio. The taping is a new thing and will certainly try this as I have been experiencing a lot of pain.

Thanks for the informative video I really appreciate it, I have arthritis and bone spur in my big toe , I had injection last week it helped the joint where I have the bunion by reducing the pain but I still have pain in the other joint of the same toe the one is closer to the tip of my toe, I have the option of surgery but is it going to take care of my painful little joint closer to the tip of my toe?
Thanks for the great response! Surgery can be very effective, check with your doctor for specifics, but combining with a proper shoe and supportive insole is usually what really ensures success for most of my patients.

Why do we have swelling under the great toe if the spurs exist on the top of the joint? I feel like the swelling from the spur actually makes me pronate too. I can feel a little bump under my toe.
My big toe injury happened in the military. Been living with the pain off and on since 2001. Finally went to the doctor because it was becoming to painful. The bone is nothing but calcium. Waiting on the official verdict.
I have this problem. My doctor wants to go in every place my joint with a artificial joint my foot is killing me. I had the injection in my big toe April, tears to my eyes and the surgery that they were talking about is just a joint replacement not the fusion.
Hello, I have a thesis on hallux rigidus and I produce insoles. For which stage of hallux rigidus and at what degree of dorsiflexion restriction should insoles be used? I hope I could explain. :)
Really helpful. I had a bone spur removed some years ago and the arthritis has left me with some pain and discomfort, but the overriding feeling of wanting my bad foot to feel like the other one. I want to just crack/snap it back so it bends at 90 degrees. It’s more the sense that I can’t stand on ball of my feet properly that is so annoying. I will now make sure I stretch everyday.

If I get a stiff insert to my shoe wouldn't that lead to other problems as the natural walking pattern is for the toe to bend upwards? So wouldn't limiting toe bending upwards lead to problems?
The idea is your big toe has arthritis and can't bend, eventually your calf, hamstring and glute muscles should stretch out to the proper way they should be walking anyway. It does take some time to adjust, so we always recommend starting softer and easing in.
@@DrTomBiernacki So are you saying that the big toe and function of the foot will correct itself once the hamstring, glutes and calf muscles have been trained to work effectively? If so, that's great news, but I hear a lot of foot specialists say the foot muscles must be trained first and then once that is done the other muscles like the glutes and hamstrings will start working properly. What is your opinion?
I’d love to hear more about fracture treatment. I left my appointment 2 months ago feeling like the sesamoids were insignificant, I could keep exercising, and this would be no problem. (Tibial) I quickly learned that wasn’t the case. Is there hope of recovery? The fracture was worse at 2 months with a good tennis shoe worn and no exercise. I’ve moved onto a boot & cutout orthotic.

How bad does it have to get before you have surgery and what kind of doctor do you have to have? Does it have to be off Foot doctor or does it have to be a surgeon that does surgery?
What type of joint replacement. My girlfriend also has bone on bone. She just had surgery but not replacement. Her doctor pushed for bone fusion. Looking into different options for her. Any info would be appreciated.
@@morganprice4070 I’m not sure what you are asking? It was a joint replacement with a joint replacement. It’s like made of a soft rubber. Your doctor should he familiar with that. I personally did not even know they could do such a thing. This will last for about 15+ years vs just fixing it w/o that my doctor said it would only last about 5 years or less and would have to be redone. My doctor would not have done it any other way with it being bone on bone. I hope that helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions. My toe recovered perfectly! No pain AT ALL and I can wear my shoes, boots with heels with NO issue at all 🙏🏼
Okay so what if i can get to 90 degrees but still have pain when pushing off or running or jumping off one foot...and was is the difference betwewen turf toe , and adductur hallicus... and if i am getting that full bend what would the culprute might likely be
hey doc, I stand on concrete 8 hours mon-fri, my boss doesn’t like people sitting down and working.. will stretching in the morning and good shoes change my pain ? Or should I do something else. Thanks
THAT WAS AMAZING. I feel, YOU REALLY want to help people. I wasso I need if this knowledge after hearing from my condition yesterday. I have Flat foot and probably h. rigidus and I am extremely happy and grateful for all for all the information. I was wearing barefoot shoes for 12 years because I had pain in the knees at the time. The barefoot shoes solved it but maybe caused this issue to accumulate faster? (living in the city l walking with barefoot shoes...) I still have my barefoot shoes. Do you think my orthopaedic inlays will be stiff too? I still have my barefoot shoes. Do you think, those carbon inlays are OK with the barefoot shoes? I am so used to them... Lots of gratitude from Austria!! Florian

I have stopped doing roof repairs or extreme bending of my toes. I have changed my footwear to a stiffer soul based trainer shoe which is also light weight. No issues to date after my last bout, funny thing was that I was considering using the duct tape and then I found this video!

I believe my injury to big toe is wearing steel/composite toe boots and bending my toe inside the hard shell is what wrecked my big toe! What do u think?
Great informative video. I'm scheduled for a right toe fusion for hallax ridgous been suffering for approximately 10-15 years. Naturally because of this it throws everything else out, due to not being able to walk on my foot as one should. I also have right hip impingement. Will this operation make this worse. My left toe is on the way as well, I know the signs. For your entertainment information I'm in the UK. Regards Dave
I have concern that if the joint is fused there will be other problems as a result- your gait will change somewhat which affects the whole foot, leg, hip and all the way up ... much more inclined to do the bone spur shaving surgery.
Good information, but my hallux rigidus is now bone on bone AND I have very high arches. If flat feet are the main culprit (and I don't stand all day) then how did this develop?
We appreciate you watching. Usually I find this is the tighter leg, ankle or foot.

Thank you! I have answers now! I knew my issue wasn't a bunion, but had no idea this was my problem. Your self- diagnosis tools really help. In summer, I wear Birkenstocks, w/ great support & results in much less pain. My problem is in winter, wearing shoes that cause more joint pain. Even large toe box shoes like Dansko rub the area.. What could be a solution for winter shoe wear? I've had two ACL replacements in same leg & a complex meniscus tear too. I have a lot of inner knee pain. Could this pain be related to toe? TY

I believe I have Hallux Rigidus after my gout flare. It's been over 1.5 weeks since my gout flare attack. But once the pain is gone. I realize I couldn't walk correctly. My big toe lost all its flexibility. I can't bend it backward 90 degrees, not even close to 45 degrees. Plus I have pain on the side of the big toe too. So what should I do? Every time I walked, my foot got swollen as well.
Hi there, I enjoyed the video. I was wondering if laying on the stomach with the toes pointing down with small weights attached to them, so it's like pulling the toe. I was thinking this may partially separate the joint so the bones don't jam against each other as much. What do you think?
Thanks for the great response Mark! That definitely can help, I will make a video for this very soon for you. th-cam.com/video/ZI0sANYDF6M/w-d-xo.html This video on foot exercises would be extremely helpful as well.

That's 100% absolutely what happens. Studies show that the joint before and after the fusion absorbs the most stress. The beauty is the toe can be well supported with insoles and good shoes; thus, on a practical level, this is much less of a problem than in a bigger joint like the knee or hip, where it is almost impossible to deal with.
@@DrTomBiernacki If we weren't told from a young age we need arch supports and raised heeled pointy toe shoes our feet would develop to be strong enough to support themselves. The toe fusion doesn't seem like a good option for a highly active person. The natural gait would be destroyed. What kind of life is that to live? Do podiatrist study biomechanics? If my podiatrist 20 years ago told me I need to focus on strengthening my glutes and great toe, I wouldn't have needed arch supports. People are not born with genetically weak arches.
You said you wanted to know how I got this injury to my big toe.I was a passenger in a car and the driver got her shoe caught on the accelerator.Instead of stopping the car and disengaging the shoe,she gave it the gun!!! We rammed into a concrete wall.Then 2 mo nths later I was again a passenger and when the light turned green the car behind us rear-ended us.I walk alot. My feet I knew were damaged as they seemed disconnected to my feet.But I had no pain,until 3 days before I went to see a podiatrist.I have had other foot injuries in life, so when he saw the xrays, he said my injuries were so extensive so that he couldn't understand how I could walk at all.Fear tactics as I'm quite a walker.Two long walks a day.Plus I'm not feeling as much pain and much less throbbing.I can't thank you enough for your advice.I will be going to physical therapy next.And doing what you advise.Bless you.
Doctor iam from kerala i treated many doctors but the xray result is no problem but I have pain in turf toe while playing football what is solution doctor??
I love how this goes totally against all the PT I just did for the past 6 months…. Everything was barefoot… hmmm let’s start over with these tips because I’m not pain free and see if these work.
I have had hallux rigidus for 10 years and used custom made orthotic inserts in my shoes. Also worn rocker shoes for 10 years which have helped a great deal. However it is stage 4 now and I am having big toe fusion ( affects both feet). Will my Gait change and affect my knee and hip and cause problems.
Surgery is the only true hopeful solution for any of these ailments. Tiger Woods was tired of going to all these different treatments for pain and he said surgery is really the only way.

That error at 2:95 - “from your wrist to your longest toe” - made my head spin for a moment lol. FABULOUS taping demo!
I only wanted an xray so I could see what the problem was.Right away the doctor scheduled me for an orthodic fitting and scheduled me for surgery.I had only experienced pain 3 days! So I thank you for you for your excellent expert counsel.Thank you so much.
That doctor is extreme Good thing you decide to research information
Why not just request an X-ray?
Five fingers fixed my big toe. The consistent splicing of my big toe away from the rest is all I needed to find immense relief. Ditched any shoes that scronched my toe
This was the most informative video ever on big toe pain! I've been dealing with this for year, not really understanding what I have - now there's a plan! Thank you!
This is all good information for pain relief but it doesn't help your feet and the degeneration will continue. Why is no one talking about rehab and strengthening the feet. By immobilizing the foot you also run the risk of atrophy in the surrounding muscles which leads to further instability and risk of injury, especially as you get older. Secondly there are no shoe options for wide feet and the rigid sole (except maybe Altra I haven't tried these yet) and the problem is simple to describe, most shoes are not the shape of your foot. I was wearing shoes that were half size large and 4e width and the problem still existed, my big toe was being pushed inward and causing pain just from the fabric on top of the joint and it was worse if I wasn't standing or moving. For me I have gone barefoot, it allows me to align my big toe properly with the help of toe separators and when my big toe is properly aligned I don't get pain from the lack of dorsiflexion, just limited in movement. I now can't wear any of my traditional shoes anymore. I used to suffer from inversion as a kid and some flat footedness, now my arches are back and I feel the muscles in my feet changing and working in ways I never used to feel. This may not be for everyone since we are all individuals, I am mid-50s and have been strength training for a few years and would consider myself above average wrt to my fitness. My job is at a desk so I can moderate my physical activity to what I do at the gym. All these factors have given me the opportunity to attack this problem differently and I am now hopeful that this can be managed long term, where last year I had almost resigned to the fact that I may need surgery soon. There is so much information out there about feet and foot conditions in general that I think we all need to look at everything and work out some of this for ourselves.
Hey, do you have something to add one year later? Any new wisdom or tip?
Thank you so much for this video. I have been working in extreme pain for the past 6 months. I finally saw a podiatrist but didn’t get this kind of information. I found the best shoes with hardly any movement that keep my toe rigid (HOKA brand) quite expensive but relieves the pain. I taped the toe up today and find that helps too. Thank you so much 🙂

How do you get the tape off? Thanks 😊
Hoka Cliftons...OH, YES! They are saving me.
Thank you! I have an excellent foot Dr. but he did not show me taping or exercises or rolling, just left it all for the p.t. and I have not seen results in 3 years. Now I'm going to do it myself and I'm so thankful for all the info!
Glad it was helpful!
I've been having pain in my left big toe occasionally for a long time and it has been pretty constant for weeks now. I just tried the taping and it feels so much better right away. Thank you!! Going to make an appointment soon to get it looked at.

I have hallux limitus and Altra Olympus shoes have been a life saver. Wide toe box, very high cushioning and a semi-rocker sole.
I love the Altra shoes but orthotics don't fit the best into them unfortunately
Hoka also sells a shoe with carbon fiber insoles. I'm currently using one and finding relief. They're pricey though.
Mine started as a sprain.. i thought it would heal on it's own.. it didnt (i didnt know what to do to help it) now it is hallux ridigous ..thank you for this great information
I hv been dealing with that toe pain for 2 years. I was starting to hv knee issues. I bought a carbon fiber orthotics as you suggested and taped and my pain went away in a day!
Oh, my goodness, the toe-taping is working SPLENDIDLY! First time in years I've been able to 'do my thing' (which includes exercising barefoot) with minimal discomfort. I've ordered a sole flattening orthotic too. Thank you so much!
Thankyou so much lots of useful information I am going to try out...well presented too.
Do you untreated hallux rigidus, Wendy?
@@Travis_22 as yet untreated.
@@WendyWahman Ah ok. I only ask because I had an Cartiva implant which is now failing 5 years later. But the taping has really helped combat the resurgence of pain for me. I will prob get a fusion soon.
@@Travis_22 I'm sorry the Cartiva implant failed, not sure what that is - but I've heard, and I think the doctors here mention it too, that the surgery doesn't last. Yea, I may end up getting the toe fused, but for now, like you and many of us, the taping makes it more tolerable. I just really don't want to start up with another doctor for another 'thing.'
Really helpful, thank you. Severely disabled son really struggling with an enlarged and painful left toe joint, seeing podiatrist in few days so can discuss potential hallux rigidus with him

Thank you for this very clear and informative video. Ive had my toe tapped today and it feels so much better. The swelling has gone fown
Seeing an orthopedic Dr. on Wednesday. I've had this condition on and off for about 12 years. Comes and goes. It's at a point where there's a bone spur on the top of my foot and stiff shoes aren't helping anymore. Last few days have been difficult to walk. Starting to limp. Tried the duct tape method and can't believe how much better it is. Still hurts, but nothing like it was. Hoping he recommends inserts. Took pics of the foot duct taped to show him. And will definitely ask about exercises. Thanks so much.
I liked how you kept this to the point and even sped up the exercises. You also said what was coming up later at different times. I think I developed hallux limitus from stubbing my toe years ago on uneven sidewalk. Haven’t seen a doctor though.
Do you recommend weaning off the taping and orthotic when pain is better? Would long term use of the orthotic or taping contribute to further stiffness of the joint because it reduces natural big toe extension with walking?
Both my feet have it, X-rays show severe joint arthritis. The pain hasn't been debilitating, just bothersome. I can't even approach 90 degrees! They have me scheduled for fusion of the left one first.
Thank you!! I can’t believe the difference the duct tape alone made! I’ll be happy when Amazon delivers the carbon fiber insert, but the tape is already making life bearable.

Oh yeah, terrible foot pain, huge spur on top of my foot, pain so bad that I need to ice it every night so I can sleep. (I’m already on pain meds but keep that to a minimum). I’m a lifelong equestrian and have had bursitis in that hip for 25+ years…the toe pain has exacerbated the hip pain, so I’m now practically one legged.
After 4+ years of injections and orthotics….(injections only work for a couple weeks now) I’m heading to surgery soon. I’ll definitely try the taping on top of everything else I’m doing while I’m waiting to get the fusion. Thanks for sharing these tips and info- very appreciated!

The tape cast helped me so much. I was in so much constant pain I was kinda freaking out. My job requires walking. I'm having problems even putting weight on my foot.
I am so grateful and thankful for you and the rest of your clinics. You guys are the best and I am happy that there are options to heal my foot pains.
Hi doctor, I know this is an old post. Hopefully you see my question. I have listened to so many of your videos and was hoping you could do one in the future on exercises or therapy for a toe fusion. I am seven weeks out and healed pretty well, I’m still in a boot so time will tell. I’ve had an issue with this tow for years and a cheilectomy years ago. Took care of the problem for a while and then decided on to fusion since my arthritis was so bad. Anyway, I would like to see exercise specifically for someone who has had a toe fusion. Thank you.
I’ve had this pain for years. My big toe on right side only. I’ve had it X-rayed and they said it’s not broken but it’s really painful. I’m an avid runner and it’s getting tougher to run or even walk and lunges are out of the question. I’m sure I’m damaging the other side of my body bc of continued running and pushing through the pain. I wish I knew what the cause is and how to treat it!
What is your opinion of sketchers I was diagnosed with halux ridgeous and replace joint surgery I haven’t done it yet I’m also having inside knee pain this makes sense I just started pt for knee
I used to work as a ramp agent and I injured my big toe from bending down stacking the bags. I have had 3 X-rays the past 3 years, all doctors say there is no structural damage but the last one diagnosed me with big toe arthritis. I was given a shot but that did absolutely nothing. I can bend my toe but it just hurts when I do it. I feel pain every step I take and am desperate to fix the problem. Thanks for your video.

Thanks for the tips, I had a irregular bone growth ground off big toe knock leg, hurt for 3 days. Got some movement back, I thin aggressive skying did it, landing jumps after back scratchers slamming toes in boot, made them blac n blue as a teen , bummer . I limped for years from a shattered femur from a ski accident. I think that brought the turf toe to a irregular bone growth? Limping sucks, walk proper even if ya gotta walk slow is what I believe, I will try some of the material covered , I do stretch my entire body daily, stretches I learned in Kung fu class and been doing for over 30 years now, thank you again.

I'm taping my big toe. I can only wear slippers now. shoes hurt the top of my foot. I'm thinking it may be nerves. I put my foot in warm water and the pain goes away. I have an appointment with a podiatrist.
I'm going to get that insole.
I don't want my foot to move when I walk.
I will also do the exercises.
I noticed when I do my floor exercises and yoga it does relieve the pain.
I'm watching the diet of foods that don't cause inflammation it's a journey.
And Thank you
I have a question; how effective is the new procedure of inserting a gel-type material between the bone of the toe to replace the missing cartilage?
Please give me your opinion...
TY.
I have hallux rigidus and my podiatrist recommends fusion but I am leaning more toward joint replacement such as the arthrosurface toemotion. Can you tell me your thoughts on joint replacement options vs fusion?
Hello there, just out of interest did you get this problem slowly come on over years and then become worse until it was an issue? I had nothing wrong initially as far as I knew.. was running often.. then just like.. 7 weeks ago all of a sudden out of the blue I got something that felt like a sprain in the big toe whilst running that turned into lasting toe joint pain.. wont go away now.. went to physio and they said hallux limitus. Now I guess I wont be doing anymore running. But was just interested in how this developed over time in someone else.
I was watching another vid on fusions which is a permenent solution and less drastic surgeries (of just improving the join and removing excess bone), which offer appently good relief for a limited number of years.. seems fusion has very good and permenent results that allow people to do most things.. I saw a list of activities and a satisfaction survey.. some people even manage to keep running (which is surprising to me). Check with professionals but from what Ive heard about other artifical replacements they arent super long lasting and can fail.. and if they do it can limit other surgical options. But again, needs a professional opinion.. I'm just repeating what I've read. Who knows.. maybe down the line they'll workout how to use stemCells and rebuild the join.. but it doesnt seems to exist yet.. I guess that might take a few decades or more.
Va mulțumesc Domnu Doctor pe mine ma doare picioarele si nu stui ce sa fac.Eu sint din Romania si nu prea avem doctori care ziceti dv.😊
I drilled a hydraulic hole into the bottom of my left foot and screwed an industrial bolt about half inch diameter up into my foot and out the top, then wing-nutted it on from top. There is no more big toe tightness.
I’m going to try some of your tips. I got a big toe problem since I was 15. I’m 48 now the vein in my big toe is dead because I got shot in 15 in the leg over the years. My big toe is like a hammer toe and it pains for me to walk in shoes I’m at a point I don’t know what to do

I did break both big toes but have also been athletic most of my life (running, skiing, tennis, biking) and now have not only hallux rigidus (my podiatrist looked at the XRay and asked, "How are you even walking?") but the lack of big toe mobility has contributed to peroneal tendonitis and achilles tendonitis in my right foot which is the worst. What are your thoughts on "rocker" type shoes? I am currently in a 200 hour yoga teacher training and would really like to increase my toe mobility and decrease pain and aggravation
Dang! I’m in bed resting from todays left Great toe hemiarthroplasty….. i wish I’d seen this before. Probably would still have had the surgery since I had 80% cartilage loss so pretty much bone on bone, but the taping info would’ve really come in handy the last year!
You said you would explain how to use the wooden calf stretcher without bruising the big toe joint? Help
Thank you for sharing from Scotland
thank you so much! very informative video, so clear
Thank you so much! Very very useful! Thought my issue was my plantar as I had been advised of this before. Have even paid to do physio. The taping is a new thing and will certainly try this as I have been experiencing a lot of pain.

Thanks for the informative video I really appreciate it, I have arthritis and bone spur in my big toe , I had injection last week it helped the joint where I have the bunion by reducing the pain but I still have pain in the other joint of the same toe the one is closer to the tip of my toe, I have the option of surgery but is it going to take care of my painful little joint closer to the tip of my toe?
Thanks for the great response!
Surgery can be very effective, check with your doctor for specifics, but combining with a proper shoe and supportive insole is usually what really ensures success for most of my patients.

Why do we have swelling under the great toe if the spurs exist on the top of the joint? I feel like the swelling from the spur actually makes me pronate too. I can feel a little bump under my toe.
My big toe injury happened in the military. Been living with the pain off and on since 2001. Finally went to the doctor because it was becoming to painful. The bone is nothing but calcium. Waiting on the official verdict.
I have this problem. My doctor wants to go in every place my joint with a artificial joint my foot is killing me. I had the injection in my big toe April, tears to my eyes and the surgery that they were talking about is just a joint replacement not the fusion.
Hello, I have a thesis on hallux rigidus and I produce insoles. For which stage of hallux rigidus and at what degree of dorsiflexion restriction should insoles be used? I hope I could explain. :)
Hoping for some advice. Toe joint is moving as normal, but it hurts to put shoes on or reverse lunge at the bottom of the foot under the big toe joint
Can I run with this toe pain? My pain is tolerable, I just don't want to make it worse. I however need to keep running/training for an upcoming 1/2
I have been having this pain since I was in high school. Now the pain does not let up. I’m now 30 and it hurts constantly
Really helpful. I had a bone spur removed some years ago and the arthritis has left me with some pain and discomfort, but the overriding feeling of wanting my bad foot to feel like the other one. I want to just crack/snap it back so it bends at 90 degrees. It’s more the sense that I can’t stand on ball of my feet properly that is so annoying. I will now make sure I stretch everyday.

If I get a stiff insert to my shoe wouldn't that lead to other problems as the natural walking pattern is for the toe to bend upwards? So wouldn't limiting toe bending upwards lead to problems?
The idea is your big toe has arthritis and can't bend, eventually your calf, hamstring and glute muscles should stretch out to the proper way they should be walking anyway. It does take some time to adjust, so we always recommend starting softer and easing in.
@@DrTomBiernacki So are you saying that the big toe and function of the foot will correct itself once the hamstring, glutes and calf muscles have been trained to work effectively?
If so, that's great news, but I hear a lot of foot specialists say the foot muscles must be trained first and then once that is done the other muscles like the glutes and hamstrings will start working properly. What is your opinion?
I’d love to hear more about fracture treatment. I left my appointment 2 months ago feeling like the sesamoids were insignificant, I could keep exercising, and this would be no problem. (Tibial) I quickly learned that wasn’t the case. Is there hope of recovery? The fracture was worse at 2 months with a good tennis shoe worn and no exercise. I’ve moved onto a boot & cutout orthotic.

How bad does it have to get before you have surgery and what kind of doctor do you have to have? Does it have to be off Foot doctor or does it have to be a surgeon that does surgery?
This is the Champion.
I just had joint replacement on my big toe. It was bone on bone. Any exercises for that??
What type of joint replacement. My girlfriend also has bone on bone. She just had surgery but not replacement. Her doctor pushed for bone fusion. Looking into different options for her. Any info would be appreciated.
@@morganprice4070 I’m not sure what you are asking? It was a joint replacement with a joint replacement. It’s like made of a soft rubber. Your doctor should he familiar with that. I personally did not even know they could do such a thing. This will last for about 15+ years vs just fixing it w/o that my doctor said it would only last about 5 years or less and would have to be redone. My doctor would not have done it any other way with it being bone on bone. I hope that helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions. My toe recovered perfectly! No pain AT ALL and I can wear my shoes, boots with heels with NO issue at all 🙏🏼
Okay so what if i can get to 90 degrees but still have pain when pushing off or running or jumping off one foot...and was is the difference betwewen turf toe , and adductur hallicus... and if i am getting that full bend what would the culprute might likely be
hey doc, I stand on concrete 8 hours mon-fri, my boss doesn’t like people sitting down and working.. will stretching in the morning and good shoes change my pain ? Or should I do something else. Thanks
THAT WAS AMAZING. I feel, YOU REALLY want to help people. I wasso I need if this knowledge after hearing from my condition yesterday. I have Flat foot and probably h. rigidus and I am extremely happy and grateful for all for all the information. I was wearing barefoot shoes for 12 years because I had pain in the knees at the time. The barefoot shoes solved it but maybe caused this issue to accumulate faster? (living in the city l walking with barefoot shoes...) I still have my barefoot shoes. Do you think my orthopaedic inlays will be stiff too? I still have my barefoot shoes. Do you think, those carbon inlays are OK with the barefoot shoes? I am so used to them...

Great informative video. I'm scheduled for a right toe fusion for hallax ridgous been suffering for approximately 10-15 years. Naturally because of this it throws everything else out, due to not being able to walk on my foot as one should. I also have right hip impingement. Will this operation make this worse. My left toe is on the way as well, I know the signs. For your entertainment information I'm in the UK. Regards Dave
Ur the champ Man! Awesome awesome Video.
So are you not a fan of cheilectomy? Should someone being offered surgery go straight for the fusion surgery?
Merry Christmas and happy new year 🎁🎄🍾🥂
You too merry Christmas ☃️🎄!
I have concern that if the joint is fused there will be other problems as a result- your gait will change somewhat which affects the whole foot, leg, hip and all the way up ... much more inclined to do the bone spur shaving surgery.
Very detailed, thank you!
Good information, but my hallux rigidus is now bone on bone AND I have very high arches. If flat feet are the main culprit (and I don't stand all day) then how did this develop?
My big toe twitches 24/7 and my feet hurt. What could be the cause and what can I do to heal them?
We appreciate you watching. Usually I find this is the tighter leg, ankle or foot. Offloading with an insole and gradually strengthening stretching will relieve pressure from the nerve

Thank you! I have answers now! I knew my issue wasn't a bunion, but had no idea this was my problem. Your self- diagnosis tools really help.
In summer, I wear Birkenstocks, w/ great support & results in much less pain. My problem is in winter, wearing shoes that cause more joint pain. Even large toe box shoes like Dansko rub the area.. What could be a solution for winter shoe wear?
I've had two ACL replacements in same leg & a complex meniscus tear too. I have a lot of inner knee pain. Could this pain be related to toe? TY
Which is more important? The shoe or the orthotic?

I believe I have Hallux Rigidus after my gout flare. It's been over 1.5 weeks since my gout flare attack. But once the pain is gone. I realize I couldn't walk correctly. My big toe lost all its flexibility. I can't bend it backward 90 degrees, not even close to 45 degrees. Plus I have pain on the side of the big toe too. So what should I do? Every time I walked, my foot got swollen as well.
Hi there, I enjoyed the video. I was wondering if laying on the stomach with the toes pointing down with small weights attached to them, so it's like pulling the toe. I was thinking this may partially separate the joint so the bones don't jam against each other as much. What do you think?
Thanks for the great response Mark!
That definitely can help, I will make a video for this very soon for you. th-cam.com/video/ZI0sANYDF6M/w-d-xo.html This video on foot exercises would be extremely helpful as well.
If possible, we would appreciate a quick & easy rating from you, and a good rating makes a BIG difference for us!

Thanks again for watching!
It seems like a big toe fusion would just pass the problem up the chain to your knee and hip?
That's 100% absolutely what happens. Studies show that the joint before and after the fusion absorbs the most stress. The beauty is the toe can be well supported with insoles and good shoes; thus, on a practical level, this is much less of a problem than in a bigger joint like the knee or hip, where it is almost impossible to deal with.
@@DrTomBiernacki If we weren't told from a young age we need arch supports and raised heeled pointy toe shoes our feet would develop to be strong enough to support themselves. The toe fusion doesn't seem like a good option for a highly active person. The natural gait would be destroyed. What kind of life is that to live? Do podiatrist study biomechanics? If my podiatrist 20 years ago told me I need to focus on strengthening my glutes and great toe, I wouldn't have needed arch supports. People are not born with genetically weak arches.
You said you wanted to know how I got this injury to my big toe.I was a passenger in a car and the driver got her shoe caught on the accelerator.Instead of stopping the car and disengaging the shoe,she gave it the gun!!! We rammed into a concrete wall.Then 2 mo nths later I was again a passenger and when the light turned green the car behind us rear-ended us.I walk alot. My feet I knew were damaged as they seemed disconnected to my feet.But I had no pain,until 3 days before I went to see a podiatrist.I have had other foot injuries in life, so when he saw the xrays, he said my injuries were so extensive so that he couldn't understand how I could walk at all.Fear tactics as I'm quite a walker.Two long walks a day.Plus I'm not feeling as much pain and much less throbbing.I can't thank you enough for your advice.I will be going to physical therapy next.And doing what you advise.Bless you.
What if I have all of the details and depreciations but no pain
This was excellent. Thank you!
Doctor iam from kerala i treated many doctors but the xray result is no problem but I have pain in turf toe while playing football what is solution doctor??
I love how this goes totally against all the PT I just did for the past 6 months…. Everything was barefoot… hmmm let’s start over with these tips because I’m not pain free and see if these work.
I have had hallux rigidus for 10 years and used custom made orthotic inserts in my shoes. Also worn rocker shoes for 10 years which have helped a great deal. However it is stage 4 now and I am having big toe fusion ( affects both feet). Will my Gait change and affect my knee and hip and cause problems.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I hope you are doing well now.
Surgery is the only true hopeful solution for any of these ailments.
Tiger Woods was tired of going to all these different treatments for pain and he said surgery is really the only way.
What if I can bend my toe but it hurts so much doing so?
