I was diagnosed with this by my podiatrist 6 years ago. I was just told that my orthotics would address this. I was never told to wear them inside the house and I was not given any exercises. I've never had that many issues, the hallux limitus was found because I needed orthotics to fix my leg length discrepancy. The area on the inside of the toes feels somewhat painful when I touch it.

I think I have about 50 degrees of ROM and it didn't seem all that bad to me. Now I've read that doing nothing about it actually makes it worse and it scared me a bit. I'm not sure what to do now. Why didn't my podiatrists recommend exercises? Should I work on this or just leave it alone?

Just curious if anyone’s ever had this before. I recently worked a 6 hour shift standing in my new shoes (vans). I haven’t worn vans in 15 years, but I never had this issue although I was a lot younger. My feet feel sore and I assumed it was from standing, but I noticed the bruising.
The right side has bruising on the ball of the foot and left on the heel.
