could exersices like running worsen the deformity of the big toe?

Question

While running a long time back I got bad blisters on the side of my big toes. They are now hard and dark underneath?

Answer 1

What deformity: Are you referring too?

Answer 2

See foot doc: So he can take an x-ray. Maybe, you have. Fractured toe that won't heal cause you keep running on it.

Answer 3

Toe swelling: Try different shoes, and make sure they are secure on your feet when running.

Answer 4

Shoes: I suggest you start by getting fit for running shoes. Go to a running store.Sometimes running down hill can cause this.

Answer 5

See Podiatrist: Have it evaluated and determine if there is any condition that is causing this. Then treatment can be started if necessary. Also try changing running shoes.

Answer 6

See the foot doc: I would have it x-rayed to see if anything wrong with the bone. I would make sure your wearing the proper size sneakers. That would be my starting point.

Answer 7

Maybe: If there is a biomechanical cause that if left uncorrected can lead to progression of deformity. If injury caused this, if not healed fully or properly, then yes.

Answer 8

See below: That you are doing better in the natural position that your food is in.

Answer 9

Hmmmm: Tell your coach to......... You know your body and if you try to change how you run, you risk great injury.

Answer 10

Running Form: Perhaps the couch is thinking that that will increase your arch-but that may not be necessary-especially since you run faster & hopefully pain free. Remind the coach you are faster & pain free naturally. The doctor says-don't mess with success! dr george tsatsos anklenfootcenter.

Answer 11

Yes you can: These procedures do quite nicely.

Answer 12

Numb: There are a number of anatomical reasons for this. The first right thing to do is see your podiatrist for an evaluation.

Answer 13

Possibly : An ill fitting shoe or a compressed nerve in your lower back. Sometimes, the deep peroneal nerve is compressed near the base of the first metatarsal.

Answer 14

Shoes too tight: Try leaving your shoes a little less tight. Sometimes you have to keep your shoes a little looser. As you run the shoes may be pinching on the top of your foot. This compresses the nerve. I've had it too.
