You may have a point there, for true!

I kind of go in gusts on forums, but I spotted this thread & thought I'd drop in and say hi to my bud.

You think of me when you see...coyotes? Not...um...cougars? Wait, wait, I know, when you see coyotes you think of cougars? But, OTOH...how often do you see coyotes, now that I think of it...oh well....

Now about 'sand toe,' I'm not 100% sure that's the same thing as predislocation syndrome. It doesn't say anything about overlapping toes. That may just be another ill that volleyballers are prone to--not sure really.

Anyway, if you've read that article, you see that predislocation syndrome is not something you want to mess with.

OK, since you're asking for advice, and I just read a chapter in a book about chronic inflammation, here's what I would do: I would try to reduce the inflammation response any way I could systemically, and perhaps locally, and I would give the foot time to heal.

I know it's summer and volley ball season, but you don't want your foot to degenerate, because after all, someday you'll be MY AGE!

IOW, take the long view of what's going on here. (Does sand volleyball teach us to take the long view? Maybe it does now....)

My neat volleyball-playing chiropractor is also my son.

He recently got punked on ESPN (he's the first 'victim'):

I recently outlined a chapter on chronic inflammation for my own purposes, so I'll post what I learned on the next frame.

Rest assured, there are people in this world who care about your toes!

LOL (laugh-out-loud and lots-of-love!)
