This is such a great video and helped me understand my recent ball of foot injury! Thank you!!!

[Hindsight]

This is exactly what is going on with me! It completely slows be down. Thank you for posting!

Everyone tells me my pain is gout but after watching a few videos like yours I really don't think so. The main reason is because the pain started one day after playing pickleball with shoes that are (too large) so I tied the laces very very tight. The pain hasn't gone away on the fat part near the side below my big toe. Anyways, thank you for the excellent video!

Your own demonstration is very helpful! Thank you

[ProtoMaxoid]

Thank you for the information, currently dealing with this

I have horrible pain in that spot and in front and behind it. Can't even walk. When I do, I feel an even sharper pain a little behind it- higher up in the arch. I have no idea what happened, I was just sitting on a bench for 20 minutes and it just came on and hasn't left.

Please help. I can't go to a doctor right now.

I stepped on a hose last week and rolled the ball of my left foot. Omg now I can hardly walk. The area is swollen, I can’t touch it and I can’t move my big toe. I have a doctor appointment tomorrow, but not until 4:20 pm. I should have gone to urgent care 😫 I’m 64 and I try so hard to be in self preservation mode and then I go and walk on a stupid hose.

Exactly what am going through since September till now

Thank you for posting this video including such great detail. I believe this is what I have. I normally do not wear flip flops and the one day I did I was sitting down and when I got up it felt like I was standing on a marble. I had swelling and it was already turning red. The area is still very bruised looking and the swelling has come down a bit. I put on the thick socks and it is helpful.

Thanks this was helpful. I got in a car accident and slammed on my break real hard and ended up with a ball of the foot injury.

I have a pain exactly under the two dots, where you draw purple.
I feel the need to crack my toe constantly, this pain has been there for almost two months.
What could it be? And what should I do?
Thanks

[ValerieinD]

Thank you for this video, I have the same issues and could not figure out what it was, this answered that question. Same symptoms right down to the little bit of numbness bruising etc, happened about an hour after yoga class.

[ashwinigowda]

Pllssss sujjest me something to relief this pain, , im crying from past 20 days due to this horrible pain

[eliasvntr]

My pain is at the lower where there is purple filled in. Whenever I push there or if I put pressure on there when standing I can feel pain. What is that and how can I fix that? :o

[christianhernandez]

I’m able to extend my toe and massage my toe ball but it’s really inflamed . Only thing I’ve been doing is taking ibuprofen, massage and bucket of warm water

[zman]

That’s me. Mine feels swollen but it’s not and inside of the long toe is going numb

[mikeb]

Just found your video searching for input and your foot issue sounds similar in that the area toward the 2nd toe is what gets sore, however no bruising, slight inflammation if any. The big difference is the entire area bruised on your foot went numb and tingly... This happened after snowboarding all day, no wrecks. Thought it was from new boots and heat molded them w/ toecap to widen so they feel great but no improvement. Chiro thought I just had a pinched nerve, said no loss of power or movement range ro told me as long as it doesn't get worse to just keep icing & taking anti-inflammatory. Any insight or idea what it may be & what to do?

Doctor i have really bad circulation. One my right foot i consider that i have 3 foot pads. The hell and the two areas where you drew. Only at night the top right pad of my foot starts hurting. Its not so much standing but when i lift my foot and take pressure off it thats when the unbearable pain starts for about 20 seconds. Its been 4 nights in a row that it hurts. I dont remember injuring it. Is this what im experiencing? Thanks

[Drs]

If the pain is a little to the side of the foot is it still the sesamoid with the problem?
I can walk fine but if I land my foot on the inside I feel a pain like stabbing there . Thanks before hands

[Ralphie]

I have no obvious bruising in the same area only as I put my weight on my foot, no pain to the touch . I also have no flexibility issues.
It's been about a week . I am on Ibuprofen &
anti inflammatory medication .
I am 60 YO

My question is, how much longer can I expect before healing ?
Do you have any idea ?
