Been tripping/stubbing my toe since I was a kid lol! Now that i have hip/walking issues, I've been thinking i need to learn/re-learn how to walk. The walking portion of this video i need it in loop mode so I can follow along lol! Also thanks for the short with the exercises! đđ€âš
Glad it was helpful and that you enjoyed the short as well.
sorry for talking about something irrelevant, but itâs something very important to me. Iâve suffered from foot pain since about a year ago. it was last May that I hurt my right foot while playing shuttlecocks by feet, basically using my feet to kick a shuttlecock and pass it to others and ⊠that kind of game I self-invented and played with my friends. that was supposed to be a fun activity, and it had been for some days, but one day it got a bit intense( not in the way of body contact, just about footwork, but itâs kinda weird since I just did small steps and tiptoe - just the posture you can possibly imagine to use playing the game I mentioned) I donât know why that day I hurt my foot (right foot), it was like a stabbing pain, like it was severely strained (I found it painful when I tried to stretch my foot and toes up towards my body sometime later /about a few weeks I remember/ when the pain alleviate a bit). I used not to have warm-up exercises before doing sports, I suppose that it can somehow relate to the injury. Onward from the day I hurt myself, I had found it hard to do daily things like walking or cycling without feeling pain. but at the time I had to prepare for tons of exams, thus the treatment was deferred many times until the point when I felt that it had almost subsided, which was about August last year, three months after the day. and I started to exercise as usual, (Iâve been a running person since a young age, but probably because of my ignorance of movements and methodologies of protecting myself from injuries, I seldom had protection or precautions, despite I was luckily devoid of foot injuries until this one that Iâm talking about), but the pain upsurged soon after the first run (about 5km), and after that I had always feel it at time, it has never been disappear. like sometimes I feel it, it gets more intense when I use my foot, yet when I donât use it for a period of time the feeling reduces - but itâs always there, I know it. yet for a long time I didnât take it seriously, thought it would be like some kind of my childhood pain that went away magically after some daysâ of sleep. so there was no treatment and no consultation with the professionals until October last year. the doctor first made me to do an NMR for my right foot, the injured foot, and it turned out the possibility of bone fracture was ruled out. the doctor then diagnosed me as plantar fasciitis, and recommended a list of things to do (reduce loads, stand and walk and use my feet less, foot bathing and ice, stretches and roll out a ball). I followed it, but it didnât make any difference in the following two weeks. So I went back to the doctor, and he prescribed me with three times of shockwave therapy which were conducted by another doctor. i did it weekly and ceased any form of exercise. and I started to do exercises again, which led to the recurrence of pain just a few times later. once again, I went back to the doctor and he offered another six times of shockwave therapy. I thought it was done, as I donât feel pain anymore, in spite of some strange feeling (stretch? I guess) on the pot I hurt myself on some random mornings. but I felt discomfort and pain after I returned to normal exercise again, even though I did things thoroughly carefully and gradually. it appears that additional pressure and long times of standing can bring a lot foot discomfort to me.
the shockwave therapy was expansive and my parents were getting a bit impatient, but for the sake of ending my own affliction, which is only endured by me, I began searching many things on the internet. watching videos, reading articles, etc. In order to not aggravate serious symptoms, I have controlled the volume, but I still do run for a time after that, with looming pain, but with a lot of warm-ups and stretches. then I realize that itâs wrong, and I stopped it, and only play some frisbee in the past two months. but the situation is stagnating, no signs of getting any better, itâs still there. hence I seeked for more information online, and also additional help. initially, I tried to do more recommended stretches and exercises that are designed to help build my calf and feet muscles. Also, and most importantly, I get to know about the thing called physical treatment, which I bath my feet in cold and hot water intermittently for half an hour a day. and I did it for ten days until a week ago I had a fever and had to stay in bed (I think it is the new variant of COVID). I just recovered now, unable to attend any exercise, and searching for resolutions for my foot pain. Some videos about footwear and wearing a barefoot shoes have provoked me in some way, but Iâm totally unsure about it. another thing to mention is that I have been doing toe stretches and wearing a toe spacer I bought online with no prescription or suggestion in person for a month, but it seems to have nothing to do with my pain. BUT BUT Fortunately I found your video demonstrating different types of foot pain cause, which is a thing that I have been concerned about and thought of since the doctor told me that it was unusual to have foot pain on the upper part of the arch (the part beneath the big toe, but with some distance of course) for plantar fasciitis patients. I am bit hasty in the early stages of exploring the methods of trying to treat myself, especially because I have quitted many sports due to this pain, or illness I would rather call. In your explanation, I think Iâve found someone that can actually help me and pluck me from the non-ending chronic pain for me. I know that it may be harder to deal with as I miss the best time to take action, but I am still eager and ready to do anything to solve this. for further references of my symptoms, I do not have that typical pain in the morning, the ache is at the upper part of the arch of my right foot, and it feels like stabbing pain after intense exercise and feels like thereâs a cramp when not exercised, for very few times I feel it fine and well. I have made many mistakes, as I sport less - such as sitting for so long that my waist got injured last June and recovered last August, which was quite a long time ago, and sprained my right ankle three times in a row because my right foot was not stable enough due to injury I think.
all in all, it has brought me so many unimaginable inconvenience and disappointment from people around me, I hope you may kindly respond me and give me some helpful suggestions. (and do you recommend me to do any of the things Iâve tried previously?)
sorry again, for being this messy, I literally typed out everything about the related things Iâve encountered in search of the solution to the pain. Iâve seen you being responsive to all the comments under each videos you posted. thank you so much for reading my comment and offer professional advice, I really cannot fully express my gratitude as a nineth grade student for your kind heart. (I can provide more information about my ailment later on if I can remember more of them, I can send pictures if you want me to)
I have to send this below your latest post to draw some attention (sorry again
Sorry to hear you've had such a tough time with your foot at a young age. Unfortunately, this is an issue you'll need to seek help for in person with a healthcare professional in your area. Good luck with your recovery!
Helps with Multiple Sclerosis spasticity. I am trying to train my feet to walk better. It takes work.
Keep up the good work!
