A new way to strengthen your muscles:

[lbenmaor]

Try picking up a tissue with your toes. If you try it tell me what you think.

Did you try it?

[falalalala in reply to lbenmaor]

Good to hear.

I actually pick up stuff with my toes a lot. Its easier than bending over & taking the chance of falling over in the process!

[lbenmaor in reply to hairbrain4]

Smart Lady!

My toes don’t bend, they are hammer 🔨 toes on right foot and I can’t balance on that foot to use left🤬. I could do this25 years ago 😂Ken 🐾🐾

[lbenmaor in reply to Kenu]

I hope it's not painful.

[Kenu in reply to lbenmaor]

Only when you breath 😜😂🤣. Not really I have had surgery on two and waiting till others get worse before more surgery 👍🙏. Ken 🐾🐾

[lbenmaor in reply to Kenu]

I'm glad it's not too bad.

Good idea, now to only reach my nose with the tissue! Now, that's near impossible!

[leking1 in reply to carolek572]

I got a mental pic that was out of this world! Thanks for starting my day with a good laugh!

[lbenmaor in reply to leking1]

My pleasure.

Ibenmaor This is similar to toe scrunches used in PT. I've been doing these (seated, of course) to strengthen the foot muscles which were so long idle because of the cast and walking boot.

[lbenmaor in reply to goatgal]

Sounds like it's very helpful. Thanks for sharing.

[pamgarner]

also when I was going to physical therapy they had me lift my knee and write the invisible alphabet in the air with your foot good luck.

[lbenmaor in reply to pamgarner]

Sounds like that could be helpful.

With a foot charred to a crisp, with no feelings what so ever? Not true, they still burn without cannabis at nite. After years of burning feet syndrome (no, that's not the real medical term), my stubs don't work like that anymore. Besides, I'd be afraid I'd start a fire? BUT, I will gladly without hesitation, bend over and pick it up! I'm always trying to physically work out! Without pain, no gain??? P.S.: I can still do 10K steps a day, I wear a tracker ankle bracelet, and now without a cane!!!! (another story) Never give up! Keep trying everything you can. Push yourself. You don't help anyone, including yourself if you don't!

[lbenmaor in reply to MarkUpnorth]

I applaud you MarkUpnorth! You have a fantastic attitude!!

I just couldn’t blow my nose afterwards 😜

Seriously, I can see that they are toes, but I don’t know how to communicate with them.

[lbenmaor in reply to CraigS]

Not being able to use your tissue afterwards means your toes are dirty!

[lbenmaor in reply to CraigS]

Have you seen a doctor?
