Hi Valarie how are you doing?

I saw several podiatrists and physical therapists over about 25 years. They kept saying plantar fasciitis. Spent a lot on them and the orthotics. When the last doc wanted to operate I asked a chiropractor if she could do anything. She looked at my feet closely. Said your ankle is out of place and set it back in place. I was finally pain free. It did take a few months because it would work itself back but the pain wasn't bad like before and eventually it stayed in place. Now I can wear sandals and go barefoot some daily.

That's amazing! Before you had the ankle realigned did you easily twist your ankle when you walk? Just wondering because I do. I never considered that the ankle could be out of alignment. But my wrists were, so maybe the ankles were, too.

@@joycej9415 I understand. I've also had things overlooked. I saw chiropractors, and many other drs, for 18 years before one chiropractor knew immediately that I have scoliosis.

My new dr said that based on the radiologist report it's shocking that no one but that one chiropractor saw that something is really wrong. Crazy how something very obvious can so easily be missed.

@mimiescape2023

@@dianejones4276 a bad S1 nerve in the back leads to weakness in the outer foot muscles which causes the foot to pronate. This causes the main big toe tendon to become misaligned and the pull of this tendons on the big toe bones causes them to collapse inwards. This funky alignment ultimately causes a bone spur to form, which we call a “bunion”.

I’ve been dealing with Achilles tendinitis for 10 months now. It’s horrible! Nothing my podiatrist has tried has worked (new shoes, shoe inserts, heel lifts, laser treatments, and time in a boot) and he doesn’t seem to feel surgery is an option. Now on top of that, my plantar fasciitis is back in the same foot with the Achilles issue. I also have issues with ingrown toenails. What a pain, literally!

I bought a pair of imitation dr martens 4 years ago. And that gave me plantar fasciitis. I never thought I would go through this. I love your videos on foot pain. I am looking into buying your foot massager. Some days are great but then I have those painful days when I don’t do my exercises. Thank you two for your videos.

Omg. You guys are always hitting the nail on the head. I have that too

Thanks you guys!

You guys are awesome. Always were, still are! ✨

I’ve been experiencing electric shocks along my ankle and the bottom of the foot. I was hoping that you guys had a way to relieve that.

Wow, these exercises really helped! Thank you both so much!

I am so glad I am watching your videos, when you talked in one of your videos about massaging the foot and stretching the toes….it really helps! I was suffering a lot of foot pain and some swelling and my foot was killing me, then I followed what you said and my gosh it worked! My foot stopped hurting and I could walk on it the very next day…I was so amazed. I do like the idea of using a massager thing like you were just showing. Thank you so much!

Hello 👋 how are you doing today

I was hoping to hear about Metatarsalgia - ball of foot pain.

Thank you so much !! I probably have number 5 what yiur dad had. I’m a professional Choreographer and figure skater been doing it since I was 4 years old. I’m to the point where I can not go jugging , dancing nor skating anymore. I am pain free but as soon as I try to dance within 3 minutes my feet arches are killing me so I have to sit down and immediately the pain goes away. So now I’m depressed because I can’t teach dance anymore , not skate , go for walks , jug ect…. I can only do floor stretches sadly. I can’t be standing for more than 5 minutes so I use a rolling chair when I cook, wash dishes or clean house. I do not take any medication for that because I know it’s bad for us so I just avoid standing I’m usually in bed most of the time now.

For a year I kept getting the same diagnosis of planter fasciitis on my right heel pain. It hurt to put weight on it and I started to walk funny trying not to put weight on it. I did the support shoes, the inserts ect.... Then final a pain specialist asked if my previous doctor ever did an epidural on the L5 vertebrae? The L5 nerve runs all the way to the bottom of your right foot about the same spot the pain is for planter fasciitis told him no... we immediately scheduled the day procedure. After that surgery, I stood up and absolutely 100% no pain! Instant relief from having pain for a year. Also Doing reflexology on the bottom of your feet will sometimes diagnose whare problems are in your body. Tell me more about your giveaway!

Love you guys!!!! Shared your videos for years. Thank you for being THE BEST physical therapy advice on the planet!

Good video, but what about neuromas???? So many people have this from wrong foot wear, thinning of fat pat as on ages, etc.

I greatly appreciate this video! I've read about having shoes with low soles and that people should walk barefooted. However, I can't find an answer for me. I have high arches and high insteps. Low soled shoes tend not to have arch support. Does a person like me need arch support in my case? Or would I benefit without it in a low, flat soled shoe? I was looking at Xero brand shoe bcz it fit what you showed in your video. Lightweight, bends, low soles, wide toe box. If you can answer me, that would be great! My Dr only recommends heavy thick soled shoes to everyone... New Balance, Brooks, and 1 more similar to those. Bcz he told my hubby the same thing and our feet are very opposite. 🙄

Bob&Brad, What about pain above your feet ?? Painful and tightness what causes this?? Along with knee pain?

Do you guys have information about Neuroma of the foot, or Morton's Neuroma? I recently had one removed, what a horrible ordeal !! I had never heard of such a thing.

Hey guys I have pain on the top of my foot on the side near my arch. I've since switched shoes to give me more support but if I walk a lot at work the pain returns. Any idea what that is or how I could stretch it out so it doesn't hurt as bad???

I was hoping to hear about heel spurs. I forgot to ask my dr about it but my heels hurt so much when I walk. Like they're bruised from the inside. You're right about us not walking as much when we're in pain. I gained a bunch of weight when I stopped walking. Of course the extra weight makes the feet hurt even worse. It's a vicious cycle.

Good video, but one suggestion: keep the camera little farhter away so we can see the part of the foot, the main topic here is FOOT PAIN and whatever you kept talking most of the time we could see the exact location of the foot problem you were discussing. I too have cramps in the paw area of the foot when I am at the grocery store where it is a lot f walking isle to isle so end of my shopping is about to complete i get cramps in the toe base. Also recently I am having pain on the upper side of the foot arch almost on the center of the paw. I don't know if my new walking shoes are causing this because I felt such a pain after I started using the new shoes. The brand that I tried this time is "GO WALK" walking shoes. I would appreciate your response that would suggest some solution/remedy.

Hello Bob and Brad, I have pain on the top of my right foot that feels like I have a clamp around my foot that won’t let go. It’s very tight and painful.

Likewise during the day if I sit for even a couple minutes they become stiff and it hurts to walk until I get them moving again. I don't wear high heels anymore, but I do take alot of steps a day.

Along w massage, I found Baretraps "Rebound" sandles literally bounce, massage feet so I can walk really well w "Planter Fasciitis", & can go barefoot some. And stretch the Hip flexor, opposite foot on knee, stretch, first in morning.😇

Does the first one also count if the pain not on where the arch and heel meet. But on the arch it self I have been having pain in the arch for years and I'm just turn 20 so I feel like the scope is to far I think I had it since elementary school

I definitely have number 5!!!! It’s a weird pain that pushes up & some times after the pain get super bad I feel a sense of jittery. I hate it!!! It’s very hard to describe but it’s a nasty feeling !!!😢

What brands of shoes have large toe boxes? Closed toe shoes all make my toes sore after a few hours.

The neuropathy in my feet is caused when I wear polyester. My jogging bottoms I wore last winter with painful neuropathy every morning after getting up or at night after taking clothes off. Only discovered it was the polyester joggers because the weather improved and I stopped wearing them (5 pairs). Glad discovered it but its very weird why. Anyone know? Roll on a year. Recently using a knee support on left knee and guess what, made of polyester and in the morning foot pain like neuropathy only in the left foot. So definitely polyester.

Please hear my pleas. I am a parent to a 17month old with bowed legs. There aren't any support group out there or guidance to help us through this. I have so many questions and not much answers. He's currently in PT. I don't know if he should also get a podiatrist to have a look at his ankle as well or if that's part of being bowed legged. I also want to know what will help. Walking yes I know. But with or without his supportive New Balance shoes? What about ride on toys and those Balance bikes for toddlers. I'm just so desperate looking for answers to prevent my child life long pain from this.
