johnson Posted January 23, 2018 Share Good day everybody.Both my feet (big toe's) has got some damage/symptoms that was caused by gout. I Have changed my diet (eating and drinking) and is also on prescription medication to keep my uric acid level under control. For the last three weeks I have had an annoying spiking kind of pain in my left foot. I Feel the pain in the front part of the ball of my foot. The pain is not constant but more like a spike for a couple of steps. Sometimes I can walk for an hour with no pain and suddenly it would strike again. I Don't know if it's possible but it almost feels like I'm stepping on a nerve or something. I Would like to get a professional opinion if anything can be done to improve the condition of my feet. Can anybody recommend a good orthopedic surgeon that specialises in foot injuries ? Anywhere in Gauteng is fine. Thanks. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Wheel Base Posted January 23, 2018 Share Off topic but when I see talus being mentioned I found it funny that last year(I think?), Talus won a pair of giro empire shoes in the TDF fantasy league competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnson Posted January 23, 2018 Share If I may ask - are you diabetic? No not diabetic. I Do the "Full Monty" tests and checks annually. The only thing that is not within limits is my uric acid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noshow Posted January 23, 2018 Share Sounds like Morton's neuroma. Surgery should be your very last option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Hickley Posted January 23, 2018 Share Sounds like Morton's neuroma. Surgery should be your very last option.+1 on Morton's. Struggling with the same problem. Had insoles made, got shoes with wider toe-box and moved cleats back. Seems to be working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
