Thanks. I liked it. I do a lot of aztec dance and I have been experiencing pain in the second toe. I will definitely try some of your stuff.

Talk a lot and do nothing

Hey  can massaging help to treat this problem?if yes how?

[hcjohannsen]

@yienhui1 Massage can be beneficial in treating metatarsalgia. To learn how I suggest searching for a video by Tricia Trinque, PT on metatarsalgia treatment.

the last thing I want is for someone to touch the ball of my foot where the pain is.....I would have to get past this phobia, yikes.

[minameise]

I do a lot of sports, and I'm in the US

[hcjohannsen]

@minameise What type of activities do you partake in?

[minameise]

@hcjohannsen

Hi, I do a bit of everything from basket ball, to soccer, and even some plyometrics.

Dr. Johannsen, what is a good type of shoe for Metatarsalgia?

Thanks!

[hcjohannsen]

@minameise This all depends on the type of pain you're experiencing and where it is located. Foot Solutions is a franchise with over 200 locations in the US. Feel free to stop by a location near you to get some clear advice from one of our certified pedorthists. Visit footsolutions . com to find a location nearest you. Anyway, some good shoes include the Etonic Minado, Chung Shi footwear, or any running shoe with a decent rocker sole and padding. You may also want to add carbon plates.

@hcjohannsen

Thanks for the advice I will definitely look you guys up. I forgot to add that I also underpronate (suppinate).

Thank you. This was a very informative video.

Ice though, does not affect the inflammation, it simply eases the pain.

[MrRedFredSaid]

@Norrtrollet - if ice is applied immediately, yes it can reduce the swelling.

Count how many times this guy says "of course." So funny!
