what is reccommended for a severe hammertoe?

Cynthia, I am not a doctor, but I did consult a podiatrist about mine. She said that only surgery will correct a severe hammertoe. She said it's a pretty simple surgery. I am reluctant to have surgery for it because I have heard from acquaintances that once you have surgery you will always have pain. I don't currently have pain from my toes, they just rub and are uncomfortable in close-toed shoes. Have you consulted a podiatrist?

I used the silipos. It helps but barely. It mostly helps with the level of discomfort of certain shoes.

I would have to agree w/ "CyberTom's" response as the one I own flexes a great deal. I would look into something w/ a steel/aluminum frame.

I have been using a mini tramp for 6 mos, first at PT while I was rehabbing my feet and I recently purchased one. It is a great and exhausting workout. If you can stay active on it for 15 mins you will get a great workout. Good luck.

I used a nursery store bought surfactant. With the price of the sedgehammer I wasn't going to cut corners at that point. Using a dedicated surfactant has brought good results.

Don't buy this product. It sends the foot forward making the hammertoe raise up and get worse. I'm now trying the Toe Buddy which seems to be a much better product after 3 weeks of wear.

You really do need some one there---How frail is Mom?. I'm not joking. My husband and I went through numerous Maxi rub's. Not because they are bad---but it's the greatest and best gift I ever gave my construction worker husband. We used to do each others backs every night for 1/2 an hour each and it really did the greatest number on our backs. He's passed now and I really realize what a great deal of help that massager was doing for both of us. I miss him---and our 1/2 therapy with that maxi. It would be awkward if it was for your Mom to do on her own. If she had a lower back problem she might be able to "prop" it in a chair and lean against it. If she's elderly it might be a problem. I'm 64 and I bought myself a "Shiatsue" massager (sp). If your Mom has siatica (sp) that might be a problem too. Some women who have Calcium deficiancy in their bones might find this uncomfortable. There are cheap models under a 100.00 out there but they aren't much good---the one that's about 125.00 or so is great---My boss borrowed it and 4 friends---I had to threaten one of those to give it back. They are like a matte that you sit on with a back. The good ones have metal or hard plastic balls in the back part that go up and down---mine can go side to side along the spine---you can also use the remote to hit the button to make it stay in one spot. I love mine---If any of this is too much sometimes a plain old heating pad works Let me know if you need more help-I've had back problems my whole life with a handicap child

Buy the large. I ordered the med.but,was sent the large buy mistake. I tried to adjust it but my pit bull was way to small. Plus she is mising her front leg. Its a complecated device but well made. Plus you dont have to use the front and rear together if theres no need. Personally I would buy a simpler lift aid if I were you. But to answer the question the large will fit a rotty perfectly. I had a rotty yrs ago. Hope this helps. Also amazon gave me a full refund plus paid shiping. A very painless and prompt service...

3 Pound is the way to go for starting out. Should you wish to expand at one point getting an extra 6 pound one would probably be a nice option

I order a pair of Teeter cobra XL. I found it to be more stronger and give better support than the Blue teeter gravity. I work out 5 days a we and my Buddy just happen to have own the blue teeter gravity boots. I feel for 247 lb man hanging from them, they feel like it going to break on me. I love the cobra & my feel the same he jusst order a pair too.

Get the limbsaver glue on. I got the slip on which works well for 7mag, as good or better then my muzzle break but will move around if bumped hard enough. Both are guaranteed 50% less recoil (slip on or glue on) limb saver.

Thank you for contacting Active Forever. Unfortunately we cannot make recommendations on this product. You would have to contact a doctor to see what tension would be needed for your son.

On the hammer loop location, Stephen is right, I already had a heavy duty black makita hammer hold that I inserted at the back which fixed that problem and is an improvement that I would recommend.

Hi Judy, so sorry to hear about the sore on your Bouvier's paw. There are several options from Ultra Paws to help. There is the Wound Boot, for just a single injured paw so it can heal and reduce any chewing or licking. For all four paws, the Durable style is the best seller due to the softness and the grippy bottom. If you live in a wet climate, the PawTector boots act as galoshes for full waterproof protection. I hope one of these solutions will help your dog. Thanks for checking with us! Sally, MMP Living
