This week's question from The Postie Family:

"I have had toe joint pain in my right big toe for two years. It is at the 2nd joint where the toe connects to the foot. It gets very swollen, and the swelling is putting pressure on my 2nd toe. The swelling makes playing tennis and even walking very uncomfortable. I have been told the condition is called Hallux Limitus. I've tried orthotics, but they did not help. I also have had a cortisone shot, but after it wore off I was back to square one.

Has anyone else dealt with this? It is preventing me from enjoying tennis, and also has made me push off with the outside of my foot rather than the ball of my foot. Would love to hear if anyone else has had this and how I get past it."
