A member asked:
I was diagnosed with hallux rigidus in my big toe. i've been told that i'm too young. how does age factor into this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rigidus: It is not so much age as the mileage and predisposing factors - arthritis , the jamming of the joint , biomechanics . Seek a second opinion if it will make you feel better.
