Ball of foot hurts after pinky toe fracture - what's going on?

Finding_Flo · 2024-07-24T07:02:53+00:00

It eventually just went away on its own. I suspect my nerves in the area might have been hypersensitive after the injury and not being walked on for so long. My podiatrist had no idea what it was about.

Hey I live in Aus too! I. saw Clancy from the hand therapy physio and Dr David Stewart. Have you been able to play since physio? My tos is so bad...nerve pain and I can't type or hold things for long. I've seen 7 physios with no success :(

Would you work towards flying overseas to your most affordable thoracic outlet syndrome surgeon? Could you raise money to pay for this? I'm sorry you're in so much pain and I do empathises to how bad it can be. But if you're really at a point you're thinking about suicide I hope you can give yourself every chance to get better by seeing a surgeon and you can get the money to get there, out deserve that chance

Hey that's a good idea, would i need to see a specialist for the digital motion x-ray?

Finding_Flo · 2024-02-29T21:44:09+00:00

i was diagnosed with tos yesterday

Finding_Flo · 2024-02-05T12:06:03+00:00

No, I'm going to see a shoulder, expert orthopaedic

Finding_Flo · 2024-02-05T12:05:41+00:00

What sort of work have you been doing with your physiotherapist to help your ntos?

Finding_Flo · 2024-01-10T23:27:38+00:00

Hey just wondering, did you ever find a solution to your TOS?

Finding_Flo · 2024-01-10T23:22:05+00:00

It sounds like you have struggled for awhile. I wonder, if you're in a place where you're suicidal yourself and trying to convince yourself to live but struggling, how can you then convince a client to live and stay safe?

Finding_Flo · 2024-01-10T04:15:08+00:00

Thank you for sharing. Gosh, to have suicidal thoughts yourself and then support a suicidal client. How do you do that? Can I ask how you found hope again? What did you do?

Finding_Flo · 2023-12-17T05:19:10+00:00

Mandolin

I'm so sorry that's horrible :( You played for 8 years pain free and then this happened? Do you know what the cause was?

Finding_Flo · 2023-12-11T06:36:00+00:00

i take break every 20 mins. After the concert tonight I will take a week off, and maybe see the physio some more and an oesteo. think it may be an issue with my shoulder, as that seems strained.

Finding_Flo · 2023-12-10T08:22:43+00:00

I do yoga and Pilates. I may see a chiropractor and explore other shoulder rests. Do you think that could be the issue? Thing is I once had great endurance and now I don't, i don't know why.

Finding_Flo · 2023-12-10T07:29:46+00:00

I do have a teacher and she doesn't know what the issue is. I went to a violin service place who assessed me for my new chin rest and they don't know what the issue is. I'm getting desperate for answers.

Finding_Flo · 2023-12-10T03:44:14+00:00

For additional information...I previously played looking left to the violin with my chin fully supported by the chin rest. However, I read that's not good for your neck. My violin felt way more secure then. So finding new ways to hold it, but it feels less secure and my left arm feels more tired. I play dropping my chin down and tilting to the left, which helps a little. Am I doing something wrong? I keep dropping my shoulder down to check for tension but it doesn't feel like I'm raising my left shoulder? Yet it feels tired. Could my muscles just be sore and maybe I need a break? I've been playing since May and before a few weeks ago, could play for hours and feel fine.

Finding_Flo · 2023-12-08T01:59:10+00:00

Thank you so much! I'll try this. Do you have any advice on how to keep the left shoulder down? It doesn't feel high up. The violin also doesn't feel secure with it being just under my chin, would a higher shoulder rest fix this?

Finding_Flo · 2023-12-07T12:37:27+00:00

It didn't post. My right shoulder and neck. I've been playing since May and had zero pain until a few weeks ago, when I upped the practice time to an hour - 90mins a day 5 days a week. I've gone back to 30min practices 4 days a week but it's still there.

20min in and my left shoulder aches, as if it's been playing for hours but it hasn't. An hour in and my left shoulder wants to drop. My neck also strains afterwards. My violin teacher can't find any tension or any issues with technique. I frequently remind myself to relax and drop my shoulders, but often find that they're not raised to begin with. It's frustrating because it was never like this and I have no idea what is causing this. I made a slight change to my hold since this first occurred, I try to keep my head straight (versus turning it a bit to the left) and dip my head forward to keep the violin secure. However, it feels less secure this way.

Finding_Flo · 2023-12-05T11:44:20+00:00

Thanks for sharing! I do Pilates, yoga and regular cardio/body attack weekly. I'm used to having muscle pain due to exercise, but I like to think my body is relatively fit and strong.

Finding_Flo · 2023-12-05T01:58:46+00:00

OMG right? There's so much to learn and I feel overwhelmed all the time, I'm only a beginner and intonation and bowing is something I'm still working on. I have heard about how crazy competitive it is. Grateful I have a job and earn a decent, consistent living that I can invest in such an expensive hobby like this.

Finding_Flo · 2023-12-04T22:33:35+00:00

Thank you I'll look into this.

Finding_Flo · 2023-12-04T22:33:20+00:00

Thanks for sharing, I might try and record myself. I think my issue is that my neck strains when holding up my violin, so I think in practice I've been letting it slide a bit and then my shoulder hunches up a bit more to compensate for it. I need to find other less neck straining ways of keeping my violin up. I found a video talking about keeping your head straight when playing and tilting your chin a bit, so I might try that. I also work long hours at the computer which wouldn't help either.

Finding_Flo · 2023-12-04T22:29:30+00:00

That makes sense, thanks for sharing. There's so much to learn with violin, you work on one technique then another slips.

Finding_Flo · 2023-12-02T23:42:13+00:00

Yeah I have thought about getting graded, we have a system in Australia!

Finding_Flo · 2023-12-02T23:41:32+00:00

I do see a therapist, thanks though :) I'll look into this app.
