Hi Pudding bowl,

Sounds like you have had a good tour around!!! I'm not a brummy hee hee...i live in Cheshire - about 60 miles away from Brummy land.

Thanks for the advice. I managed to run on it for 30mins today (on the treadmill) - think it aggravates it a bit but not much and still the same tenderness really....if that makes any sense. I've bought some more felt padding today and some surgical tape - so i'm doing a makeshift padding to try and take the pressure off the toe joint - see if that helps any. Since i last reported into you i think i said my big toe was stiff when trying to lift it with my foot flat on the ground but i'm not getting that now...so hopefully this is progress!?!?!?!

I wish you a Happy New Year!!!
