Toes...

If you don't like looking at toes, look away now!

If you have any form of toe or foot pain, here is a good link to work out what might be happening.Wearing normal everyday shoes/boots, I can walk around the street for quite a while and not get sore toes. Most days but not all days.

However, even though I have properly measured walking boots, after a couple of miles, the pads on my outer toes start to go under their counterparts, causing first soreness, then extreme pain.

To counter this, I have to plaster the outer toes:
The big toe on my right foot has a similar problem so that too has to have a plaster on.

Also underneath my right foot, just to the right of the pad of the big toe, I have a Morton's Neuroma (a similar thing is Capsulitis). It used to be very painful, felt like I had a grain of rice trapped underneath my skin. I now put a plaster here and if I remember to do so, hardly have pain whilst out on a long walk.

These problems seem for me, to be advancing with my age. I love walking in the countryside so if I end up eventually having to plaster my feet more, so be it!

    1. When you apply the plaster, make sure you pull it in the opposite direction to where it would normally go underneath.

  2. Sounds painful! (and awkward). A blister's bad enough.

    1. Had a blister this week, so painful aren’t they.

  3. Try some mole skin, if you can get hold of any. Sorry about your toes/feet, the wasps and Ruby's ear. How is she? Thanks for the belated birthday wishes. I was originally supposed to have arrived around October 22. I hope things improve for you.

    1. Thanks. Ruby is getting better, wasps are possibly reducing. Gosh, you were early weren’t you!

    1. Hadn’t heard of moleskin apart from proper moleskin for repairing inside posh wellies!
