So I've been told I have a planter plate tear at my 2nd toe joint based on the MRI last week. Anybody on here have to deal with it? I see the doc at the end of the month but the nurse mentioned wearing some type of shoe to tie the 2nd toe to the big toe to keep it from moving or just to straight to surgery. He originally put some padding in my shoe but that's not cutting it anymore.
Bizarre was just talking to a client yesterday about running and she stated she had this happen. She had surgery 2 years ago and is back to running and has no issues. Sounds like it’s fixable.
No idea how it happened, I'm no runner, more like couch potato. I wonder if it's from driving my XR4Ti with a manual trans?? It is my left foot.
I tried taping one of my toes to another one time and it was not very tight at all, but when I went to walk it hurt like hell.. I don't think my toes all go the same direction when I walk.. I think my toes work like crooked door hinges..lol
Curl a towel with your toes. And then uncurl with your toes when you are being a potato. I say it with experience. Ex collegiate runner in long distance and short distance. It’s not a cure but it will strength what us runners call flat footedness. You fun flat instead of heal to toe Motion which uses your body as a shock absorber. It’s your best bet to get back on the bike as soon as possible with surgery. Also learn to tape your arch Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Just get in the habit of doing it all the time. It really is a good thing no matter what. I wouldn’t recommend you doing it all day but at any time in just resting or don’t have shoes on, I’ll curl and uncurl my toes. The towel helps you show progression and strength. At first it will be exhausting. But in the end, a silly technique will help you feel so much better. And insole with arch to provide support can also help Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
That’s a bummer but you are on the road to recovery now. Just take it as easy as you can. Hope it heals quick. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
