Hi there,

I play 5 a side football (or soccer for all you US readers!), and I get a pain at the base joints of both big toes ( the joint next to the ball of the foot). I suspected I broke or cracked the bone in that region some time ago, but went up to A & E and was told it's probably not broken if I can walk on it, so they wouldn't X-Ray or treat it. (Basically, "you did this to yourself playing football, we've got more important injuries in here, get out and stop wasting our time"). Anyway, that was over a year ago, but it's still bothering me. I just stopped playing for 4 weeks and went back last night and felt the pain again.

Does anyone know if there anything I can do to strap it up while I play or that I can do to help it heal?

If you need more information, just let me know.

Thanks
