Thank you so much for this video. I had been suffering pain in my little toe for about 2 months. Too stubborn to go to a doctor I googled my symptoms and found you. I ordered the toe separators and 5 days later they arrived. Almost immediately the pain was gone. I couldn't believe this little piece of rubber could take away a pain so intense I thought my toe was falling off, felt like the toe had a rubberband ever-tightening at the base. I can walk without limping. Heck - I can walk period. Thank you.

Although this video was done years ago, I am so extremely happy I found it. No one even my doctor understood the horrible shooting pain I suffer from the corn or blister between and under my pinky toes so when this video hit on that symptom I knew I had finally found a place to go to help with treatment and advice. Thank you

I knew there was a reason for this pain and it makes perfect sense. I made an appointment to see a foot doctor, but now after watching this I might cancel my appointment and try this first. Thanks for the info.

Thank God for you! Was about to cut my little toe off!

Just started to have this after a 10 hour drive, gotta admit the shoes weren't the best support, Definitely going to attend this asap!

Great to find you! I've had a burning reddened swollen pinky toe now for almost a week! It doesn't turn it towards my 4th toe though. I've had gout in my big toe before, do you think it could be gout? I just woke up with it one morning about a week ago. Been drinking apple cider vinegar couple times a day, which I've heard is great for gout, to no avail. Maybe it takes longer to go away! Any thoughts? It bothers me because I can only wear flip flops with this pain!!!!

[shirleyanngilbreath]

Absolutely, the little toe cushion didn't ease pain though. Did have shoe stretched, didn't ease pain either, will try different pad. Thanks

[corevetti]

[TrulyStormy]

Thank you very much for this video. I have been searching for months about the pain I am having on my little toe and finally this video came up. It feels like a piece of glass is under the skin and sometimes it feels like my toe is on fire, as if a lighter or match was being held under it. I am going to try that outer toe wedge. Thank you ;)

I’m a football player and I wear small cleats and my tip little right toe feels like its hitting nerves it hurts so bad!!!!

[peluqueriayextensionesdiva]

Mine hurts so bad...I need to get the pinky toe pad....thanks for sharing ❤

[lamrof]

I made the little pad myself now that I know what the issue is. I did change the flip flop that caused it and that helped too.

[eli-iuky]

i keep stubbing it lol it hurts a lot so i hoped something here would help

[JCP]

the first it was a little ashamed to look this up but I'm so glad I landed on your channel because my toe my small toe is red and it looks it looks like a bubble and I don't think it really rubs over to the other toe to the to the fourth toe but I want to find something you know like a cushion for it and it's just straighten it out because it really bothers me and I was such an a beautiful idea but what she said to make sure they get a shoe that's round around the big around the small toe so that's what I'm going to do and it's my right foot and now my left foot wants to act up on me but I thank you so much and you have a blessed one but I want to know is there anywhere to go to get a discounted to get that stuff for my the cushion things straightened things remote for my small toes do I need to go to Amazon or just you know is there a recommendation

This video is very helpful. I have pinky toe pain from time to time. It started after I play sports recently. My painful toe is the 4th toe. It has soft corn there like the Dr said. I put pad in between but it doesn't help much. Is there any exercises or stretches that I can do to improve, prevent my pinky from digging into the 4th toe?

[debstayblessed]

Is it okay to wear toe separators, the gel ones, to bed? Thanks for the video

[maryloudevries]

Thank you for the information. I have.this problem with most of my toes. Think its from wearing pump stule shoes when i was younger. I now have some understanding .
Your video was helpful.

[kanchanp]

This brilliant I have problem with my pinky toe I hit my foot on the chair that was in April 2016 . As it was summer I had open toes shoes now that it is a bit cooler wearing close toe shoe does hurt when a bit of pressure is on it . I went to see my doctor today they said it is unlikely that is fractured because is more the tip of the toe which is painful when moving the toes upwards and from the inside way out those to manoeuvre are pain full, downwards is fine . My doctor suggested that I tie my pinky toe and use some deep heat . What can I do any suggestion will be appreciated . Thank you
