πΏ Spring is here β don't let a stiff, painful big toe keep you off the trails!
Hallux Rigidus (arthritic big toe joint) can cause:
β’ Pain & stiffness at the base of the big toe
β’ Swelling & tenderness on top of the joint
β’ Difficulty with activities like walking uphill or wearing heels
β’ A bony bump (bone spur) on top of the toe
β’ Pain that worsens in cold, damp weather
If spring walks are becoming a struggle, it's time to talk to a specialist. π
