Hi all,
I used to train full time in Thai Boxing 3 years ago, and i am trying to get back into it, however
i am struggling with sever pain in my left foot's big toe.
When i was training before, the gym had spongey matts and i 'went over on the toe' three times in the space of a few months. To clarify, imagine standing on a soft matt and curling your toes for grip, then as you are moving the foot forward, the big toe catches and the whole foot rolled over the top. At the time i thought i had broken the toe. Ever since the toe joint, as in the last knuckle of the big toe has been very sore, like a nerve pain feeling and i have pretty much lost the ability
to wiggle and flex the toe. Even using my hand to flex it, it is no where near as flexible as the healthy right big toe.
Does anyone have any similar experiences or advice onm how to rehabilitate the toe or simply just stopping it hurting would be great.
Many Thanks
KC
