| Description:
Gout in the foot can cause hard deposits of uric acid crystals to form a lump at the inner side of the base of the big toe.
Problems it causes:
Depending on the size of the deposit, there can be abrasion and even ulceration from the shoe. The joint can inflame with swelling and redness. There is pain when the big toe moves or is touch by a shoe.
How to help the pain:
Normally deeper and wider shoes are helpful. Even running shoes are effective because they have a rocker toe. This slight rock reduces the about the big toe has to move while walking. This reduction in movement helps the pain. When running shoes are not wide enough the depth shoes are soft and give more room.
An orthotic will also help offload the joint affected by the gout. By added arch support the affected joint will endure less body weight increasing the likelihood of relieving pain and irritation. |
