Big toe and ehl: I'm sorry , but your question really makes no sense .  The ehl tendon runs on top of the first metatarsal for all humans and inserts just before the growth center of the nail on the hallux .

Question 4

Accepted Answer

: Usually. But tricky.  Google it and look at images. Depends on how much padding and other muscles you have in area. May even find a You-tube on how to find it. see https://www.physio-pedia.com/Flexor_hallucis_longus

Question 5

can a blood vessel become entrapped btw spasming flexor hallucis longus and other muscles of the deep posterior compartment?

Accepted Answer

I imagine it is: Possible but the blood vessels lie deep to the deep posterior compartment essentially next to the syndesmotic membrane.  If a blood vessel did become entrapped it would be a minor one.

Question 6

severe tightening of flexor hallucis longus tendon in foot?

Accepted Answer

Stretch: If the flexor tendon is too tight it will also cause cramping of the arch area.  You need to stretch out your great toe by hyperextending it gradually (holding your big toe toward your face)  also use some icy hot, etc.  Make sure that you stretch this at least 2 times daily, and before and after exercise.Good support is also needed in the shoes.

Big toe: You didn't state what treatment(s) you have had.  The edb  isn't really involved here  - see your podiatrist or physician who has been treating you as pain and swelling this long after is unusual .

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Injury to tendon: A partial tear of the extensor hallucis longest tendon would most likely hurt when the toe was in a plantar flexed position. Planter flexing the toe would cause a stretch on the tendon.

Accepted Answer

Tendon tear: Your MRI indicates a partial tear of a tendon in your arm that is needed for use of your thumb. Whether this can be managed via splinting and allowing it to heal, or if it would benefit from an operation is something a hand surgeon could advise you -- after a more thorough history and physical examination.
