My partner and I aren't ttc until end of this year but im trying to get all my ducks in a row. I have already done the free one with fragile x etc but have been thinking about the one that covers over 600 odd genes, its not cheap at nearly $1000
Was it worth it?
I'm not sure if my sesamoiditis is from a toe injury or if its just caused issues with my big toe, but the pain on the bottom of my foot as reduced a lot but im left with a lot of stiffness is that area as well as an achey big toe every time I walk
All my issues are only when I load the big toe, its never sore when sitting or laying down
Has anyone else experienced this before?
Saw a highly renouned sport doctor in my area (Australia) and he basically said he would be very reluctant to do surgery and he doesn't see many of them because of complications, he said he would rather do a surgery on my calf muscles to reduce how tight they are before removing my sesamoids
He also said shockwave/bone stimulator probably wouldn't be very effective and he hasn't seen good results from that when he used them in the past and that this is just something ill have to manage
What do you guys make of this? I can basically live 95% pain free in my birks but my toe just gets stiff, I'm taking vitamin d doing contrast baths wearing toe spaces going on the bike to bring blood flow but my pain levels never really decreased from a 1-2
I am a 31F business owner who works from home. I am fairly successful and my job brings a lot flexibility with my work. I am currently finishing up and entering my off season so I will essentially have 3-4 months to do absolutely nothing. I have an amazing fiancee who is my best friend so when we are together I feel great but when he's at work and I'm at home I struggle.
I struggle with freeze, low energy, dulled emotions etc but also very aware of my patterns, traumas but just not there with feeling stuff in my body. I am also addicted to tiktok/reddit, but in the sense that I stumble across videos like cozy tok or cleaning videos and it gets me inspired to clean or start living in the real world and not online but it doesn't translate
I see videos of peoples 'day in my life' vlogs, where they go out to the gym then get coffee and read by the beach, the thought of doing that makes me feel happy but the days I do go to the gym the minute I pull up I groan because I just can't wait to get back home again
Has anyone else experienced this? I have done on and off somatic/IFS/body therapy/TRE but nothing is really helping. I am just wasting my life away on the couch and feel awful about it
This won't apply to everyone however I found after a while the pain dulled to this ache and also felt it throughout my foot, my toe was also getting stiff and walking became more painful, well one day I decided to do this fascia release between my toes but I used a wooden chopstick and it helped SO much, I felt no pain in my birks and if barefoot just minmal pain around the sesamoid/toe. It might help on days where the pain is bad
