Stiff Big Toe Joints: Hallux Limitus - Need pain relief advice.

[bmcsfoot]

Hi there,

I have been suffering with pain in both of my big toe joints for a few years now. Recently it has become considerably more uncomfortable. I cycle to and from work, about 60 miles per week. This poses now difficulty. However a short walk can be incredlibly painful.

Would anyone have any suggestions for self-treatment before I seek physio and/or medical opinion?

Many thanks

Definitely go to a Physio or similar, ideally a podiatrist.
Problems in the big toes can cause you to compensate and walk differently which can lead to problems higher up the body.
