True, but it works
Sent from my moto g 5G using Tapatalk
my orthotic maker guy who was a pretty big time xc skier told me to try wearing my skate boots to bed as a night splint
but they kept me awake
Any night splints on Amazon better than others?
Appreciate you turning me to the neuroma thread.Quote:

Icing, massage, stretching, wider shoes, toe stretchers, orthotics, PT and maybe the splints are what I'm starting with. Having gone through lots of shots in my lower back for a disc injury, I'm steering clear for the time being and cancelled them. Never really helped my back in the long run.
With both plantar and Morton’s at the same time, this is less than fun. Onward we go.
I’ve had decent luck with these with met pad for my Morton’s neuromas.

And yes get the night splint.

^gracias. The met pads do help, have then in my Hokas now.
All that stuff you listed will help. Add toe socks to the list for hiking. They really help prevent your toes from mashing together if you're doing a long hike. I did about 7 miles off trail today elk hunting and had toe sock liners under my wool socks. For me it makes a world of difference. I think I bought 3 different thicknesses off Amazon, poly liners, medium cotton, and thicker wool blend. I have found that the liners under regular wool socks do the trick.Quote:

I’ll worry about toe socks down the road. I could barely walk around the house today. Bad flare up of Morton’s and it’s incredibly painful. Like can’t think straight pain. Going to get the toe separators on order.Quote:

That's good news! I still use the toe separators even though my Morton's has been almost completely gone for a long time. It just feels good to use them after a hard day of hiking or skiing. And it is important I think to stay out in front of the problem and be preventative rather than wait for pain to flare up. Used my toe sock liners under my wool socks all through elk hunting season too. They are a bit of a hassle to put on but I really think they help. Good luck, hope you continue to see improvement!Quote:

I have been struggling with this for the last week in my right foot. I do walk around in shitty flip flops and clogs a lot. Thinking it is more my Achilles tendon as the pain seems to move around from the front of my lower heel/before the arch to on the out side of my heel. Ya, on the side. I order some insoles to see if that helps and I will try the frozen water bottle and some ibuprofen later. Any newest and bestest ideas not covered in this thread yet? CBD creme? What else? Thanks, as I have a fuck ton of walking to do in the next two weeks when we fly to Yurp for a month.
night sling
insoles in all shoes (and no crappy flip flops)
water bottle trick
18 months later i'm almost fixed :/
Insoles arrived. Spent a lot of time yesterday messaging my foot and stretching it out. Woke up this morning to 50% less discomfort. Frozen water bottle is up next.
Insoles are good ( I'm fanboi of the Sole and also custom molded ) but the real cure is to become a forefoot striker IME
if you bang around the house in bare feet and everyone hears you it sounds like you are a heel striker
get to where nobody can hear you cuz you are on the balls of your feet
Big fan of Sole insoles as well. Also had to up my flip flops as those were a big cause for me, too.Quote:

Sole flip flops have been a life saver. Wear them every day during the summer. Have been PF free for 3yrs after 5yrs of suffering.Quote:

FWIW…This past spring, I started wearing Oofos slides when at home/around the house. I also switched to Hokas as my daily/long running shoe. Since making this switch, my feet have felt really good this summer. I’m not dealing with the nagging PF issues that always seemed to come around after a summer of long runs.
I have an old pair of croc slide ons that are my around the house/yards shoes.
I was just starting to get used to zero drop sandals, Shamma trailstar alphas, for hiking and had to abandon those for now.
A combination of using the bread knife sole of foot adhesion manipulation, massage gun, lots of ankle roll stretches, skirub cbd cream and Dimmak oil, night splint wearing and using my Oboz hikers that i am down to a low roar in my left foot after two weeks. Been giving it lots of rest although i want to get out and hike. Short jaunts have been the rule for now.
I have noticed what pain i have slightly moving around so i take this as a good sign.
Thanks for that suggestion. I will check those out and god damn does the frozen bottle of water feel good on the bottom of the foot. Foot in runners with new foot beds seems to be helping. About 50% less pain than a few days ago. Lots of stretching the foot likely is helping too.Quote:
