Hallux limitus

Not to be confused with I am Spartacus!   

Ha Ha stole that from the hubs!

Hallux limitus

That's not my x-ray but it might as well be.  Mine looks very close to that.  Basically, it's arthritis in my big toe joint.  I still run but I can't wear heels (GASP!) and I can't do plyometric workouts or even lunges very well.  Jumping-that's out.

I have had for maybe 9 months.  The  Chiro took a stab at it but she says I need a podiatrist.  That makes her super awesome too.  I just love when people can say. "I don't know." I think that's classy.  You don't have to know everything and I respect you more for admitting it.

So I went to the podiatrist.  She explained that I need the orthotics but they might need adjusted.  Since I no longer have plantar Fasciitis problems I thought the orthotics started this whole toe thing.  Apparently I need a rigid surface underneath that toe.  I also have to get the inflammation under control with a stronger anti-inflammatory.  I tried a natural anti-inflammatory for the last four days but I don't feel like it did a darn thing.  Lastly, I need to put some biofreeze on that nasty thing before I go on a run or whenever it hurts.  

I might need stock.

I'm still running and doing body pump and all those goodies. That's me with the trainer at the gym.  That girl is due in May....with a baby.  She is amazing!
