Help! I like to jog but have bunion foot pain at times. What can I do to still jog but reduce pain?

Question by laurie67: Help! I like to jog but have bunion foot pain at times. What can I do to still jog but reduce pain?
I love jogging and walking – both treadmill and outdoors. I do have bunions but have not gotten surgery to correct. I have just worn comfortable shoes and there is little to no pain. But after I jog a few days in a row it starts up again. Anyone out there had similar problem or knowledge about foot health or shoes with ideas? Are there better shoes, brand names, supports? I would have to not be able to jog…:(

Thanks for your help.

I’d suggest getting some custom orthotics made. Not just the OTC ones. Either go to a pedorthist or podiatrist and have them made for your feet. I’d also suggest seeing if they’ll give you a splint to help pull your toe to where it should be. Then make sure you’re taking anti-inflammatory meds when there’s pain.

Q&A: Why do Diabetics have to have their foot cut off if they don’t maintain their health?

Question by SnapDragon: Why do Diabetics have to have their foot cut off if they don’t maintain their health?
Just out of general curiosity, why do doctors cut off a foot of unbalanced Diabetics?

Best answer:

Answer by Scott R
Well, it usually starts with the toes and moves up the foot. The diabetes cuts off circulation and keeps proper blood flow from traveling to the legs and feet causing the healthy tissue to die.

Question by American Vet: rea the “Obamacrats” preparing to shoot themselves in the foot over health insurance reform?
Dick Morris reports that the Obamacrats are preparing to vote the senate bill into law and making changes to it Behind closed doors to appease the members who cannot stomach the senate plan. This may work BUT…It will cost a lot of congressmen and women their jobs. The American voters do NOT want the senate bill to pass. No one said that they were smart after all most are lawyers.

my gf took a class in this and has been doing foot and hand reflexology on me every single day for over a year now. it is relaxing, but is there any health issues that is can be good or bad for

Best answer:

Answer by Matt R
Benefits: No.
Risks: Not really, but it can hurt.

Pertaining to the person under me, I’m curious what the mechanism by which reflexology helps with digestion. Please explain to me how stimulating ascending sensory fibers on the foot affects the GI tract, and exactly which parts of it (enzymes, hormones, plexuses, layers, anatomical distribution etc.) are being affected.

This will be interesting to read….
