Super worried about toe joint!
I’m only 28 but pretty certain I have hallux limitus from a sports injury - I have a young baby so I’m absolutely spiralling about what this means in terms of running around with them and being a ‘normal’ parent. I was initially given physio exercises by my GP due to pain in the joint but I felt like this was keeping me in a flare. Since I’ve been reading up on this condition I’ve realised how stiff my toe is - I am pretty sure I have a bone spur but when I compare the joint with my other foot when my toes are scrunched up it doesn’t seem too much bigger which is odd. This is my foot in its natural position - could this be a spur even if in other positions it isn’t really perceptible? I’m wondering if the joint is just swollen. My toe also seems to sit straighter/slightly lower than my other foot and when I replicate it on the other side the joint feels a little more prominent. I do have a GP appointment coming up but just trying to understand it in the meantime too haha.
