Channel One in the program “Little Things in Life” talked about how to get rid of a bunion without surgery in just 1.5-2 months. All you need is for this.
The bone on the foot near the big toe hurts - doctors are increasingly hearing such complaints from patients, mostly female. This is because ladies begin to wear the wrong shoes from an early age, and it is from adolescence that the bunions acquire their basic shape. One can only imagine what will happen to the feet when a schoolgirl from middle school puts on heels or stilettos.
How to relieve pain in a bone?
Often the bone on the big toe hurts precisely because of the deformation of the bone, it is called valgus. If you examine it visually, you can see a protruding bone on the foot near the toes. It is this that causes so much discomfort, and curing this disease is not easy. If you do not start treatment as soon as you feel pain, the lump will grow to such a size that your fingers will begin to overlap each other. You will no longer be able to put on your usual shoes, and walking will turn into agony.
So, you have pain in the bones of your feet, what should you do? Make an appointment with an orthopedist immediately. The specialist will examine and prescribe treatment, thanks to which it will still be possible to do without a surgeon’s operation.
Our patient, a 45-year-old woman, was one of the first to try the new technique. She is the first to have grade 4 hallux valgus deformity corrected without surgery Our center tested a special device, a foot corrector. The idea of the method is to gradually straighten it by applying a little force on the thumb.
The feet have arches. Longitudinal and transverse. They are like springs, absorbing our steps, thanks to them, we do not shake when we walk. If we run our hand along the edge of the foot, we will feel the first of them, and the other is between the toes. The latter is located parallel to the bones and forms the toes. Their location begins to change when the muscles become weak. And they become weak due to overload of the legs.
There are several stages:
There are many answers to the question – why does a bunion hurt? Let's look at only the main versions:
It often happens that children whose parents suffered from this disease develop foot deformities in adulthood.
Doctors believe that as we age, the ligaments of the foot become completely weakened, and this becomes the cause of bunions on the feet. However, this point of view is very controversial, since deformities are sometimes found in young girls.
Often, valgus occurs after arthrosis, flat feet, or exostosis.
Perhaps something bulky fell on the leg or there were sprains or dislocations.
It's simple. When displacement occurs, the entire leg is not loaded; part of the support passes into the big toe, which is why pain is experienced. Again, the lump itself does not grow immediately, the longer time passes, the more it grows, and the load increases, and accordingly the pain becomes stronger.
The sooner you notice changes, the easier and cheaper it is to cure. At the very beginning of the disease, you can use special means - an orthopedic bandage that fixes the finger in the desired degree, pads that prevent shoes from pressing on the bump, partitions between the fingers, insoles. A competent massage often helps - it gives the muscles their former elasticity and joints mobility, blood circulates better and nourishes the cells of the legs.
If the disease was diagnosed later, then medication cannot be avoided. Anti-inflammatory drugs are usually taken. Physiotherapy and exercise therapy have a good effect.
If the disease is severely advanced, surgery is suggested. In modern medicine, there are several ways to treat hallux valgus with the help of surgeons. One of the popular ones is osteotomy. The specialist trims the metatarsal hand and returns the finger to the right place.
In more advanced institutions, small punctures are made and medical screws are inserted (they are not removed later). The patient will have to wear specialized shoes for some time.
No operation is needed if used.
There are contraindications for operations:
The cost of the operation varies from 20,000 to 150,000 rubles.
What you need to know if you are undergoing surgical treatment:
There are many such people. The bone on the side of my foot hurts, so what? In their opinion, this is a natural process and it is better to be patient. However, you should remember that this is a very serious disease, and if the process is started, then you will face such complications in the future as:
Special exercises that will improve the condition of your feet. You need to do gymnastics daily:
There is a lot of useful advice on the Internet about treatment with folk remedies. We cannot help but say a few words about them. Just remember that all these grandma’s recipes do not cancel your trip to a specialist.
Means for oral administration:
An interesting method using snow:
This method is called the Headquarters method. The idea is that you need to apply snow and salt to the sore spot. Keep for at least seven minutes. Then wipe the water and bandage it. Place a shawl or woolen sock over the bandage. Don't get up for several hours.
Stop walking with hallux valgus. Start using.
First of all, the shoes must have arch support. The foot in the boot or shoe should be tight; laces and fasteners play an important role here; check that they are not loose. The back is hard and made of dense material. The sole is flexible. Materials are only natural and breathable.
Statistics show that for more than half of patients the disease ultimately ends with surgery. But medicine does not stand still, and a development has already appeared that is designed to radically solve this serious problem.
The disease progressed quite quickly. At first this lump just gave me discomfort on my leg. Then I started to get very sick. Due to the fact that the big toe began to bend inside the foot, he began to push the second, which began to rise up and rest against the top of the toe of the shoe. And a painful callus formed at the bottom of my foot. And by the age of 54, I could no longer walk in my shoes at all! My legs felt like they were in a red-hot vice.
The appearance of a bunion on the big toe of women is caused by various diseases, weak ligaments of the foot and high instep, a hereditary factor and the restructuring of the body during menopause (menopause). Tight shoes and high heels also affect the structure of the foot. The bones on the big toes hurt because, as a result of pathology of the joint of the big toe, the toe itself will move to the side, the joint will protrude outward, and the bone will be subject to stress, which will cause its inflammation.
To find out why the joint bone hurts, you need to determine the cause of the disease. Let's look at this in more detail.
Varus deformity occurs when resting on the outer arches of the feet with O-shaped knee joints bent to the sides. Hallux valgus occurs when resting on the inner arches of the feet with conjoined X-shaped knee joints and divergent feet.
The appearance of bunions is facilitated by the growing bone and cartilage tissue at the base of the big toe precisely because of weak ligaments and muscles of the foot. This is also influenced by the innate properties of connective tissue and developing flat feet. The bone of the thumb moves under the other fingers and outwards. A lump forms on the joint of the toe, it hurts and becomes inflamed.
There is a bursa in the joint of the big toe. It is filled with synovial fluid to protect the structure of the joint of the big toe, that is, to nourish the cartilage of the joint and facilitate friction on its surfaces.
Small metatarsophalangeal joints are often injured, increasing the load on the joint, which leads to bunion of the big toe. With chronic bursitis against the background of deforming arthrosis of the metatarsal joints, the bump will hurt, the bursa will become inflamed, corns and calluses will appear when the transverse arch of the foot changes, and the entire sole will hurt.
When uric acid is produced and retained, its crystals are deposited on the joints in the form of a white powder, and affects not only the joints of the legs and arms, but the entire body. The disease manifests itself:
If a large lump hurts and inflammation of the bone tissue begins, redness appears near the joint, the woman’s gait will immediately change, it will be difficult for her to choose shoes, other pathologies will arise in the musculoskeletal system, including failure of the knee and hip joints due to improper load distribution, headaches and pain in the entire ankle will appear.
In case of pain in the bunion on the big toe, reconstructive surgery is necessary to strengthen the foot or fix the bone near the bunion with knitting needles in the correct position. After it, the woman should wear comfortable shoes with orthopedic insoles, inserts between the toes, and not forget about physical therapy.
If the lump hurts unbearably, shock wave and radiotherapy are used. Pain is relieved using phonophoresis and electrophoresis. A lump or toe bone and inflammation are treated with foot baths, compresses, and massages.
For a therapeutic bath you will need hot water (3 l), the temperature of which should not exceed 38-40? C, soda (1 tablespoon) and iodine 8-10 drops. Take a foot bath for 10 minutes every 3 days. At night, the bones and skin around the joint should be lubricated with 5% iodine, and in the morning - with fatty cream or glycerin.
Massages using lavender, cypress, pine, lemon and eucalyptus, rosemary and coriander oils relieve thumb bone pain, which is why people love this procedure so much. You can perform the massage yourself by adding 3 drops of the indicated oils to a vegetable oil base (50 ml). If there is not such a quantity of essential oils, add 20 drops of one of them. With the help of massage you can relieve inflammation near the bone.
For bursitis of the big toe, do the following:
For gout and gouty arthritis to relieve pain in the bone (bump) and inflammation:
To prevent pain in the big toe bone, patients take baths with the addition of sage infusion, chamomile flowers, calendula, and walnut leaves. It is recommended to adhere to a diet and remove uric acid with Allopurinol. Pain is relieved with a warm compress of St. John's wort, burdock root and yarrow in equal parts by weight. Herbs (1 tbsp) are steamed in a glass of boiling water and after 5 minutes they are applied to the pine cone. Many patients respond positively after using these procedures.
Acupressure for headaches is a massage technique that helps combat sudden pain in the neck and head in the shortest possible time and in almost any place.
When a headache catches a person in the most unexpected places, be it a street, an office or a subway car, when there are no painkillers at hand, acupressure will be an excellent way to quickly and effectively reduce unpleasant painful feelings to a minimum.
About 5 thousand years ago, Chinese and Japanese healers discovered that in the human body there are many points that are applications of nerve endings. Proper influence on these endings, in particular massaging them, will help relieve a person from certain ailments, including headaches of various origins.
The acupressure technique allows you to fight migraines, pain in the head area that occurs due to stressful situations, as well as fatigue.
However, we note that in cases where pain in the head or neck is caused by serious diseases, it is only possible to relieve the painful symptom for a while, but not to influence the cause of its occurrence.
Therefore, in case of frequent headaches, you should still not self-medicate, but should consult a doctor.
There are many reasons why headaches can occur. One of them is spinal curvature. In this case, the cervical vertebrae are positioned incorrectly, thereby creating tension in the neck and head muscles and pinching the cervical nerve. As a result, severe pain occurs in the head area.
In case of intense headaches, it is strongly recommended to consult a doctor.
Relatively slight curvature of the spine and the pain that arises as a result can be minimized by applying pressure to the Tian-zhu point, located on the belt muscles at the top of the neck at a distance of about a centimeter to one side or the other from the spine.
Perform acupressure massage for headaches caused by spinal curvature as follows:
Often, pain in the front of the head occurs in parallel with constipation. The He-gu point, located in the depression between the index and thumb, will help eliminate headaches and congestion in the intestines. Massaging the points of both hands alternately for 2 minutes eliminates headaches.
Acupressure is also effective for headaches caused by constipation. Pressing on points located approximately 7–8 cm from the navel should occur in a clockwise circle.
Acupressure also helps in cases of fluctuations in blood pressure, when rather unpleasant painful sensations occur in the temples or back of the head. Thanks to the effect on certain points, blood circulation in the human body is normalized.
Headaches resulting from the pressure of pus accumulated in the nasal sinuses will disappear thanks to massage of the Tsuan-zhu, Chiu-liao and Tai-chun points. In addition, massaging these points will help the pus drain quickly.
Attention! Do not rely solely on acupressure for headaches caused by accumulation of pus in the maxillary sinuses; you should definitely consult a doctor.
First of all, you need to know that acupressure of the head is performed with your hands. In this case, the finger should touch a certain place vertically, that is, press down and not to the side.
If the pressure is expected to be strong, then, as a rule, it should be short.
It is necessary to repeat acupressure about 3-4 times. Typically, the following methods are used to relieve pain:
Tou-wei is the keeper of the head and belongs to the stomach channel. This is the main point of treatment for headaches. It is located in the temporal region at the upper edge of the temporal muscle in the frontal corner of the scalp.
Tou-wei is determined by chewing movement over the temporal muscle in the depression posterior to the anterior border of hair growth. In addition to headaches, indications for massaging this area are: pain in the eye, neuralgia of the first branch of the trigeminal nerve, neuritis of the facial nerve, migraine.
Tai-yang is an off-channel point. It is located in a depression one cun above the middle of the line drawn between the outer end of the eyebrow and the outer edge of the eye. Tai-yang is projected onto the temporalis muscle.
Indications for massage in this place are headaches, migraines, facial paralysis, trigeminal neuralgia, eye diseases, flu, colds, toothache.
Antitragus. As the name suggests, the antitragus is located opposite the tragus, the protruding part of the auricle that covers the opening of the ear. Under the cartilage of the antitragus there are projection points of the head, so influencing it is very effective for headaches of various origins. When pulling down the earlobe, the points located under the antitragus are also stimulated.
Shang-sin - the upper star belongs to the posterior-median canal. Located in the frontal region on the midline of the head, one and a half cun above the anterior border of hair growth. Indications: headache, neuralgia of the first branch of the trigeminal nerve.
He-gu (closed valley) - refers to the colon canal. This point is one of the most important for the human body. It is located on the back of the hand in the space between the first and second metatarsal bones, at the top of the eminence formed by the first dorsal interosseous muscle with the thumb adducted.
The He-gu point can also be determined with the hand straightened and the first finger retracted to the side in the angle formed by the first and second metacarpal bones.
In a place two or three fingers above the upper fold of the wrist there is a symmetrical and through point. The back side has a Wai-guan point, the inner side has a Nei-guan point. We massage it pointwise first on the left hand, then on the right hand.
Located at the end of the crease that occurs when the elbow is bent, the Shou-san-li point also helps fight headaches.
A point located on the stomach, two fingers' distance below the navel. Masking is short, sharp and strong. In this case, the person is in a lying position, and the abdominal muscles should be relaxed.
Due to the fact that acupressure for headaches is categorically not recommended in the case of a number of quite serious diseases, it is not recommended to perform it on your own without first consulting a doctor.
Thus, it is forbidden to perform acupressure at high body temperatures and in cases of cancer. For example, a brain tumor: massage performed on a patient with this disease minimizes the occurrence of unpleasant sensations from the disease, but at the same time accelerates the growth of the tumor itself.
Perhaps every person at least once in his life has encountered such a problem as swollen toes. Indeed, this is quite normal when walking for a long time or being forced to stand in a queue for many hours, as well as when wearing tight shoes. For an unpleasant symptom to disappear, a healthy person most often just needs to take off his shoes and rest.
However, for some people, everything is not as rosy as it might seem at first glance. A swollen finger may indicate that some pathological process is occurring in the body, which requires urgent medical consultation. With these diseases, pain and swelling of the toe is the “tip of the iceberg.” What is hidden under the surface of the “dark waters” of our body and what to do next? Only a doctor can determine this.
The toe joints, despite their small size, can be the target of many pathological conditions. There are more than 50 different diseases that can manifest themselves with this symptom.
When figuring out the reasons why your toe hurts and is swollen, you should definitely rule out injuries and other external influences. The most vulnerable part of the foot is the little toe, and it is this that accounts for the lion's share of toe injuries. It can be damaged by a direct impact (for example, on a door frame or the leg of a sofa), as well as by wearing tight shoes. As a result, the little finger hurts, swells, and its function may be impaired.
In a number of systemic connective tissue diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, an inflammatory process develops in the tissues of the joints of the arms and legs. Individual toes may be affected (for example, only the big toe or only the little toe), but there may also be a combined lesion. Patients complain that their toes feel like they are burning, they swell, turn red, and become stiff. Ultimately, they become deformed and may lose their function altogether.
For some infectious diseases, damage to small joints is the most characteristic symptom. Thus, with pseudotuberculosis, caused by a microorganism of the genus Yersinia and manifested by gastrointestinal disorders and rash, the development of multiple arthritis of the fingers and toes is characteristic. Another disease is borreliosis, or Lyme disease, caused by a tick bite. It manifests itself with a variety of symptoms, ranging from meningitis and skin lesions to inflammation of the joints of the hands and feet.
Of course, local infectious and inflammatory processes can also cause swelling and pain in the toes. These include primarily panaritium, or inflammation of the soft tissues of the finger, and paronychia, inflammation of the nail bed. Patients note unbearable throbbing pain in the finger, its sharp swelling and redness; often a purulent focus is clearly visible. It should be noted that due to anatomical features, felon and paronychia often develop in the fingers rather than the toes.
Pain and swelling of the big toe are a common occurrence among heavy lovers of meat, beans, chocolate and beer. These products increase the concentration of uric acid in the blood, which is deposited in the tissues of the joints and causes inflammation. A similar mechanism is observed in gout, with the only exception that with this disease there is a disturbance in the metabolism of uric acid, and not just its excess supply from the outside.
The toe joints, although very small, can be affected in a variety of ways. In the most severe process, the following symptoms are observed:
Some diseases have their own favorite location. Thus, with gout, it is considered classic to affect the big toe in the base area (at the border with the foot). For rheumatoid arthritis, multiple lesions of the small joints of the hands are more typical, although the toes are often also involved.
There may be symptoms of a systemic inflammatory response, such as fever, weakness, malaise, decreased appetite, sweating and other symptoms similar to those of colds. Systemic connective tissue diseases can cause strange pain in the leg and arm, fluctuations in blood pressure, digestive problems and much more.
What to do if your toe is swollen and red? First of all, you need to see a doctor. Moreover, you can use a free online service, find a good specialist and make an appointment with a doctor online. The best specialist in joint pathology is a rheumatologist, a specialist in systemic connective tissue diseases and arthritis.
At your appointment, the doctor will carefully listen to your complaints and examine the affected fingers. To make a final diagnosis, an x-ray of the foot, a general and biochemical blood test, and determination of rheumatoid factor and other indicators of systemic inflammation are prescribed. Based on a set of these data, the doctor will prescribe treatment, which must be strictly followed in order to avoid further progression of the process and improve the quality of life.
What to do if the symptoms are unbearable, and the next appointment with the doctor is only in a few days? In this case, the following is acceptable:
Everything in the body is interconnected and nothing happens without a reason. Damage to even one finger, no matter how insignificant this symptom may seem at first glance, can indicate a serious pathological process with pronounced changes in blood tests, and even damage to the heart. A timely visit to a specialist will allow you to gain time and immediately begin treatment for a dangerous disease.
To get rid of excruciating pain, you need to find out the cause as quickly as possible and try to eliminate it. The huge number of factors that cause big toe pain does not allow us to consider all of them in detail, but it is advisable to know the most common ones.
The main cause of the “aristocratic” disease is a violation of proper metabolism. Crystals of uric acid derivatives of sodium urate are deposited in the joints and gradually lead to its destruction. As a rule, an attack of gouty arthritis begins with a sharp pressing pain, often at night. First, the big toe hurts excruciatingly, then the accompanying symptoms rapidly increase - redness of the skin around the joint, swelling of the tissues, the temperature in the affected area rises, and the pain spreads up the leg. During the day it becomes a little easier, but at night the unbearable pain returns with renewed vigor. The inflammatory process can cause suffering for several days and even weeks. Exacerbations of gout are possible up to several times during the year, and their main causes are:
- the presence of too many fatty foods on the menu;
- passion for strong tea and coffee.
It is impossible to get rid of frequent gout attacks without following a proper diet. People of strong stature suffer from the disease more often, after forty years. Other joints can also become the target of gout attack.
The disease often plagues beautiful ladies and is evidence of their defeat in an unequal duel with capricious fashion. Wanting to keep up with the latter's rapid pace, the women bravely squeeze into narrow-toed high-heeled shoes and with a sweet smile endure the discomfort and merciless squeezing of their toes for a long time. The result is curvature of the thumb, the appearance of an unesthetic “bone” and deformation of the joint. A periodically occurring inflammatory process leads to an increase in the problem - the big toe hurts more and more noticeably, at first only after a long walk, and later at rest.
3. Uncomfortable shoes can cause another problem - ingrown toenails. In addition to tight shoes, this can also be caused by cutting your nails too short and improperly rounding their edges. In this case, the big toe hurts severely, the skin around the nail is red and swollen, and pus accumulates inside. It is unlikely that you will be able to deal with the problem on your own; you need to immediately contact a specialist.
The disease occurs due to the degeneration of fibrous tissue and its significant thickening as a result of wearing uncomfortable high-heeled shoes, excessive loads on the feet, injuries and flat feet. The source of pain occurs at the level of the fourth and third fingers, but the big one also suffers. The pain is felt at the base of the toes and affects only one leg. It occurs due to pinching of certain nerve endings, gradually intensifies and makes even simple walking impossible.
The most common fractures of the terminal phalanges of the thumb occur. The following signs confirm the injury in the first hours after the incident:
— the big toe hurts even with passive movement;
- bruises on the back and side surfaces of the finger;
- There is pain when palpated.
If the nail bed is damaged, there is a high possibility of infection.
A mobile, soft and round swelling around the joint, a purple, “flaming” skin color and a noticeable pain in the big toe - these are the main manifestations of inflammation of the joint capsule called bursitis. If it appears as a result of injury, then infection may be present. Bursitis becomes purulent, and the following are added to the initial symptoms:
- weakness and nausea;
- increase in body temperature;
- unbearable pain spreads throughout the entire foot.
The big toe hurts in the company of younger brothers and with other diseases:
- inflammation of arterial vessels;
- deformation and incorrect position of the foot;
If you experience pain in your big toe, you should definitely contact a specialist - a traumatologist, neurologist, endocrinologist, rheumatologist or surgeon. Trying to cope with the problem on your own without knowing the diagnosis can only make it worse. In the case where the big toe hurts in the joint area, the doctor prescribes a full examination to determine the root cause. During the procedure, you should limit the load on your toes and feet as much as possible.
Whatever the reason for the pain in the big toe, treatment should begin with an impact on the underlying ailment. For example, if you have gout, the doctor recommends eliminating fatty foods from your diet; if you have diabetes, you should control your body weight. A surgeon or specialist from the podiatry department will help you get rid of an ingrown toenail, and after an injury you should seek help from a traumatologist.
If the joint is deformed and a bone has formed, folk remedies and special fixatives will help in the initial stage. It is quite effective to perform special exercises, which are recommended to be performed at least once a day, repeating each of them 5-6 times:
1. stretch a regular elastic band with your big toes;
2. try to lift small objects from the floor with your feet;
3. sitting on a chair, place your feet on your heels and forcefully push your toes apart;
4. In a lying position, vigorously straighten and bend your fingers.
A small soft roller, inserted between the thumb and second finger at every opportunity, will help gradually return the “lost” finger to its usual place.
If treatment is ineffective and the deformity is pronounced, surgical intervention is indicated. Modern methods of surgical treatment preserve the functionality and mobility of joints. The rehabilitation period lasts 1-2 months, during which the doctor recommends specialized shoes to avoid stress on the foot. Before deciding to have surgery, carefully select a clinic. Success depends on the professionalism of doctors and the reliability of the medical institution.
In some cases, when your big toe hurts, you can use the simple secrets of traditional medicine. However, this should not be an alternative to the treatment prescribed by the doctor.
1. For severe bruises of the thumb, onion gruel will help. Fresh leaves of plantain or wormwood and thistle will also relieve pain.
2. If the culprit of the pain is diabetes mellitus, a tincture of celery root and a decoction of walnut partitions will be effective.
3. If the pain is caused by gout, compresses made from lard or fresh fish, chopped onions, activated carbon pulp and alcohol will help relieve it.
4. For arthritis, apply apple cider vinegar to the sore spot and make lotions from potato infusions or bay leaves.
5. For arthrosis, fresh cabbage leaves and yogurt compresses are good.
Especially many grandmother’s recipes are offered for the treatment of bones due to deformation of the thumb joint:
— Make a mixture of 50 g of red clay, one tablespoon of sea salt and a glass of boiled water. Add 5 drops of turpentine, mix thoroughly and apply to the seeds. Keep the mixture until it hardens, then rinse the skin thoroughly with warm water without detergents.
— Make comfortable foot baths with water and sea salt every day. It should be no warmer than body temperature, and the procedure lasts 15 minutes.
- Boil potato peelings, dilute the broth with water and keep your feet for 15 minutes.
— The carcass of a freshly caught fish with the bones removed from it is applied to the desired place and bandaged. In the morning, wash the leg with warm water and lubricate the bone with fir oil.
However, all these remedies are aimed, rather, at relieving pain. You shouldn’t rely too much on your grandmother’s advice; it is much more effective to combine their implementation with the treatment prescribed by the doctor.
The most successful treatment for any disease is its prevention. To avoid having to complain to the doctor that your big toe hurts, try following some tips:
- do not wear uncomfortable or too narrow shoes, keep your toes in a free position;
— if you have to stand for a long time, distribute the forced load on your legs equally, change your supporting leg;
- high heels - not for walking on them all day, the optimal period is 3-4 hours;
- do not get carried away with too much fatty foods, alcohol and smoking, limit the consumption of coffee and strong tea;
- if signs of bone enlargement appear, use a brace and do special exercises;
- take good care of your feet, avoid roughening the skin and trim your nails correctly;
- Avoid all kinds of injuries, and in the event of an accident, immediately seek professional medical help.
A normal weight, comfortable shoes, proper nutrition and careful attention to your health is a real chance to maintain healthy and beautiful legs into old age!

Do you often have headaches? We recommend using a step-by-step guide from massage therapist Sergei Dryga, who told sunny7 about how to get rid of discomfort by pressing on certain points and massaging the head.
For headaches, you should perform a soothing acupressure massage using the technique of rotating stroking each point. The duration of exposure is 3–5 minutes. If the points are located symmetrically, they need to be massaged simultaneously. During the massage session, the eyes should be closed.
To relieve migraine pain, you need to influence certain points located on the arms, legs, stomach and head.
Point 2. It is symmetrical, located in the temple area, on the border with the scalp. It should be massaged in a sitting position, alternately from the right to the left. During the massage, your elbows should rest on the table.
Point 3. It is symmetrical, located at the outer corner of the eye, in the recess. It should be massaged in the same way as the previous point.
Point 4. It is symmetrical, located at the base of the ear, in the recess under the cheekbone. It should be massaged in the same way as point 2.
Point 5. It is also symmetrical, located at the outer end of the eyebrow, in the depression. It should be massaged in a sitting position, simultaneously on the right and left.
Point 6. It is symmetrical, located on the face, in the area of the inner corner of the eye, 2-3 mm closer to the nose. It should be massaged simultaneously on both sides, while sitting. Elbows should rest on the table.
Point 7. It is symmetrical, located on the back of the hand, between the I and II metacarpal bones. It should be massaged while sitting. The impact must be carried out alternately on both sides. The palm of the hand that is being massaged should lie on the table, touching it with the palm.
Point 8. It is symmetrical, located on the arm, at the end of the fold formed when the arm is bent at the elbow joint. The point should be massaged alternately from the right and left, while the arm should be slightly bent and rest on the table, and the palm on the table surface.
Point 9. It is symmetrical, located on the foot, if you step back 3 mm from the big toe nail towards the second toe. The massage should be performed in a sitting position, affecting both points simultaneously.
Point 11. It is symmetrical, located on the back of the foot, between the second and third toes. The massage should be performed while sitting, affecting both points simultaneously.
Point 12. It is symmetrical, located on the second toe, 3 mm from its nail hole. The massage should be performed while sitting, affecting both points simultaneously.
Point 13. It is symmetrical, located on the back of the foot, between the heads of the fourth and fifth metatarsal bones. It should be massaged in the same way as points 9–12.
Point 14. It is symmetrical, located on the face, at the bridge of the nose, above point 6. The massage should be performed in a sitting position, affecting both points simultaneously.
Point 15. It is symmetrical, located on the foot, 3 mm from the corner of the nail hole of the little toe. The massage should be performed in a sitting position, affecting both points alternately.
Point 17. This is the last point listed in this chapter that is symmetrical. It is located on the head, in the temporal region, above the upper part of the ear. To perform a massage, you need to bend your ear forward and find the point. Massage it in a sitting position.
The cause of headaches can be not only fatigue or stress, but also any chronic diseases. If you suffer from persistent or frequently recurring headaches, it would be a good idea to consult a doctor.

severe itching, some pimples with water pop up, when everything dries out the skin peels off, and then it all starts again. what it is
If it’s on the hands (but sometimes it was also on the side of the foot), then it’s either an incorrect metabolism, a lack of vitamins (they say a and e, strangely I have c). Sometimes it is a sign of incipient eczema. It happens to me sometimes, itching appears, if you don’t touch it, then the itching goes away. It usually happens to me in the spring. And this is how my friend’s eczema started. I think this is not at all what was discussed in this topic.
wow, but I think what kind of *** appeared here on the Gulf of Finland next to St. Petersburg? I haven’t even wanted to swim for three years now because of this, I don’t understand why. You sit on a pebble, your feet are in the water - and lo and behold, some kind of worm is drilled into your feet. Thanks for the topic, otherwise I thought I might have some kind of visions.
The conclusion is clear - parasites only attack women. Guys, we live!
I once heard about this, popularly called hair, ours, our dear one, lives in dirty reservoirs, in stagnant water. It is necessary, as far as possible, to steam the “place” of penetration in practically boiling water (warm or hot water does not count), some with soap, some with burdock, and it comes out. I haven’t encountered it myself, THANK GOD, but I’ve read about it. I went to the doctor, I said my heel hurts, like a bruise, if you touch it it hurts, but no, I still don’t feel it. she answers me - THIS IS OSTEOCHONDROSIS! SO I GOT HEALTHY! GOOD LUCK TO ALL!
BY THE WAY, IN THE ARTICLE A MAN GOT INFECTED, IT WAS A FEW YEARS AGO! Here!
they were just spikes))))
Oh, guys, I read your posts and I really felt sick. Yesterday my foot hurt, the ball of my foot was under my big toe. I thought it was a piece of glass, because just that day I broke a glass bowl. I look and there’s black hair sticking out right from the pile. I was afraid to do something with him yesterday, my mother-in-law promised to get information about what and how. And today I couldn’t stand it anymore and pulled it out. It was pulled out and not pulled out, it was as if he simply entered the skin. It looks like a long eyelash, probably about 1.5 cm. At night, my leg hurt a lot, I could really feel this hair, how it was bothering me there. After I pulled it out, it became easier, but it still hurt to step on my foot. Damn, is it really this worm? And if it’s him, will he come right out after steaming with soap? How. There is no wound as such, but in place of the hair there is a slight compaction, like a weak callus.
Hello everyone) 6 years ago I was pregnant and my foot itched terribly, I remember sitting and scratching with a nail file with the sharp end, the itching was so strong, about once every few days. There were no abscesses, nothing was festering, just itching. After giving birth, a couple of months later it started to hurt, I looked - there was a black hair sticking out there, I pulled it out with tweezers, and a small drop of blood appeared in its place, after that everything went away, there was no more itching. More than a year ago, an itching appeared on the right breast under the armpit, and it also itches severely every few days. Now I'm waiting for the same one to come out. Only one thing is interesting, is it a hair, or is it really some kind of worm.
In the summer, my heel started to hurt and a thick callus with a black dot in the center formed on it. I didn’t do anything with it, I thought I’d steam it during a pedicure and cut it out. Did not work out. There was a lot to do, I didn’t go to the doctor. left it as is. About a month later, the same formation appeared on the foot of the other leg, just below the big toe. Again I didn’t go to the doctors.
A couple of months passed, it was impossible to walk, the pain was terrible. I was fed up with this situation, I took wire cutters and thoroughly picked out the sores and found small (2 mm max) black hairs there. I'll pull them out, and after a while new ones will come out. At this point I started to worry a lot. I went online to read what kind of foreign horror this is, and came across this topic. According to all the symptoms, it’s the same. And then off we go.
I began to evaporate this sore with soap, in scalding hot water, and drink nasty infusions. A couple of weeks passed, it didn't help. I thought about using other “folk” remedies - I applied rye bread crumbs (they say “hair” comes out on it), etc. At the same time, I felt movements in my feet (both while hovering and when applying bread). Then I managed to read that this hair not only sits in the heel, but also spreads throughout the body. And I almost drove myself crazy: I constantly felt movements. and not only in the foot. but also in the calf, all over the leg. Once again, when I lost my nerves due to hysterics, I went to see a doctor, and more than one. immediately to three: dermatologist, infectious disease specialist, cosmetologist. Verdict - plantar wart. They burned it with nitrogen (it was very painful), then I smeared the sore with potassium permanganate for a week, then I glued on salipod - and, lo and behold! skin. which had shrunk from cauterization with nitrogen and potassium permanganate, came off without any problems, and beneath it the pink, fresh skin, like a baby’s, did not shine. No aches or pains bothered me anymore.
The moral is: don't self-medicate. It won't do any good, you can only do harm. I, such a fool, will never read such forums again, but will immediately go to the doctors.
People ! I'm reading this and it gives me goosebumps! Horror !
55 It’s just that women are parasites, so the parasites attack them.
By the way, all the “horrors” that are described on the thread are usually done by women to men
I have some holes in my heels and you can see some black hairs there. The heel hurts terribly when you step on it. what could it be. tell.
go to the doctor, go to the doctor.
73. People call it “chicken tail”, scientifically “plantar wart.” Viral origin. You need to go to a dermatologist. They suggest removing it with nitrogen, ask them to prescribe an ointment. It takes a long time, but somehow it’s softer or something.
Find yours there :)
Hello girls! So I read it and was convinced that I was not the only one. In May 2010, a hair came out on my heel, I went to the hospital, and they told me we don’t have such pathologies, pull it out. I did so. A month later it came out again and hurt like It’s like there’s glass in my leg, I was treated by my grandmother, there was no result, and the other day my second heel started to hurt, I was in shock, there’s hair there too, I don’t know.. I’m in despair, they say medicine is powerless, only grandmothers will help, who says it’s a hormonal disorder. Now I’m going to another grandmother, whether it will help or not, I also don’t know. I’ll try with soap, if anyone has gotten rid of such nasty stuff, please write. Thank you in advance.
My daughter, 10 days after giving birth, called me in horror asking if hair could grow on her heel? And she told me that the side of her foot hurt. She looked and saw black, straight, hard hair, cm. 2. She pulled it and began to slowly pull it out. It was black, curved hair, cm long. 3 There was an unpleasant painful sensation. The hair “grew” at an angle. This is not how normal hair is pulled out. I calmed my daughter down and said that some hair was stuck to my leg, so I pierced my leg. throw it away and forget it.
Today, about 5 months after that incident, I asked this daughter of mine to look at my heel. It seemed to me that I had driven a wooden splinter or glass quite deep.
My daughter picked the skin for a long time, I thought that most likely she stepped on a small pebble that got into her shoes, and she would see dried blood, but she saw a little purulent liquid and a black hair fell out by itself, see 2. Then we remembered her incident. We didn’t swim in any bodies of water, we didn’t wash in the baths. How could the hair get under the skin? But the fact that they were under the skin is a fact.
Is it good on the leg and do you know for sure that it is water hair? I’ve had it in my groin area for 4 years now, I don’t know, I’ve been pulling it out there too, about the length of a finger? comes out with an onion and back. while it festers there, the surgeon has already cut it 3 times, I don’t know what it is, it started after Thailand. I passed all the tests for HIV, etc. Everything is fine!
good thing it’s not in the pussy!
"The Enchanted Wanderer" I remembered...
And none of the victims of “hair” tried to thoroughly rub their feet with vinegar? If anything else comes out from the vinegar, it means that the “hair” has multiplied under the skin. Just don't ask how I know this.
The dangerous worm is called Guinea worm. And the harmless one is water hair. Here it is written about the dangerous one: http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dracunculiasis
Commonly called horsehair. Yes, indeed, without harm, he personally held him in his arms.
There is also horse hair, but it seems to be harmless. Well, at least it didn’t dig into my hand when I held it, and besides, this hair dies when left in water for a long time.
Maybe I’m writing late, but it’s better to immediately remove this hair with tweezers and stick on a salipod. and if there are blackheads and the heel hurts, also salipod. I suffered like this for several months with black spots and pain in the heel. Salipod helped quickly.
I also read it on the Internet.
Someone can help, I feel like it’s crawling up my leg, but the doctors don’t believe it, they say my back is where all the nerves come from, I straightened my leg, I felt something crawling up my leg
I had this happen. At first I pulled the hair and realized that part of it remained inside - my eyes popped out of my forehead in surprise) Then I got a little scared and in the end I dug it out with a needle, not very deep, but it all went away.
I had the same thing, I tried the recipe with soap, and it went away. The pain was unbearable, there were about 4 wounds on the heel. This is all due to dirty river water.
Same story.
In general, I have the same story. My heel hurt, I walked for a week, I thought it would go away, and only then I deigned to see what was there. It turned out to be not a large, but terribly painful red spot with a protruding hair. At least something similar to it, only tougher, like an eyelash.. She took it and pulled it out. After another week the pain went away. I remembered that I had already had a similar situation before, only in a different place, on my foot... then I also pulled it out, without attaching any importance.
And now, having read the information, I can’t understand, people with similar symptoms call this, let’s call it “hair” - “HORSE HAIR”, mistaking it for a parasite known to many that lives in stagnant bodies of water. If you google, you can find a lot of stories about how many of these “Horsehairs” were seen, caught with a stick from lakes, pulled out of nets, thrown on stones and into a fire, and so on. So, I don’t understand how you can see HAIR in water, even if it’s long and hard 🙄 . And the photo of Horsehair is very different from the one that sticks out of the heel:? This “horsehair” looks more like a worm than a hair. . So why does everyone think that this is it?? Although science claims that “Horsehair” is completely safe for humans..
but whatever you call it, I understand that medicine won’t help much here, well, if you just cut the heel once again 😈 and there’s nothing left to show me, “the hair” will be pulled out, the heel doesn’t hurt. True, now for some reason my thumb hurts and today, excuse me, pus came out of it. 😳 But I don’t think the doctor will be interested in this 👿 they’ll say it’s a pricked or ingrown nail (although there’s definitely nothing wrong with the nail!)) But in the stories with this parasite, fingers often appeared, ultimately losing their phalanges or simply mutilated by surgeons. As a result, there is only one idea in my head, for which I am extremely ashamed 🙄 I can imagine how all the skeptics are mentally impaling me 🙁 BUT, I went to my grandmother, they say they are only here to help.. It may be funny to someone, but that some people are able to influence us is a fact! And the grandmother I was going to go to has an excellent reputation! 😆 if anyone. I’ll write back if it’s interesting, I’m interested too!
I picked this one up on the Sea of Azov in the 80s. to cure - simply, SALIPOD for two days, then steam. remove dead skin (I use cuticle tweezers). And so on until victory.
Yesterday I also had a hair sticking out, without a second thought I began to pull it, it was about a centimeter inside my foot. At first I thought that it was from a dog since I have a Great Dane dog, but I’m wondering how a hair could fit into the toughest part of the body, into the foot by a centimeter. ! I started looking on the net and ended up here, horror, what nightmares you wrote here, after all this I made a compress from alcohol, and then after reading the second page I made a compress from vinegar, my leg has been stinking for the second day, I can’t imagine that any parasite will survive in such conditions! Now I'm waiting until evening, hoping nothing will grow! :-)) I also think that water hair has nothing to do with this, my hair didn’t move at all but it hurt terribly, I thought it was a splinter until I looked and there was a hair three centimeters in size, I still hope that it’s just from a dog! Mom said she had one like this when she was young, she pulled it out and forgot everything forever!
Allah, thank you for your answer! I think I won! Yes, it was a hair! I took a photo of the wound, and at 50x magnification you can see worm-like hairs, both long and short. It seems that the wound is like their “mother” that produces these worms. The wound was maximum 3x4 mm, and it was not a wound, but rather a growth - some kind of amoeba that had attached itself. Looks like a piece of meat without skin. Yes, sometimes it seems like something is moving. I steamed with soap for 4 days and now I also drink an infusion of herbs.
One hundred pounds of worms - hair! I agree completely. A similar muck formed on the heel. She lay in a hot bath for two hours, scrubbing off the growths on her heel until it bled, cleaned the wound, then steamed for an hour in sea salt and soda, and a transparent rod, four millimeters in diameter, seven millimeters long, came out of the wound (sticking out). I pulled it out with tweezers and put it in a small transparent file. Looking carefully through a magnifying glass, you can see a thin transparent hair about seven centimeters long, and small hairs appeared from the transparent rod. After steaming in water with sea salt and soda, and lying in the bath for a long time, everything went away within a week. True, I still drank WORMIL for three days, and in ten days I’ll repeat WORMIL. And I forgot about the pain in my heel when walking and even just lying down, I had to hold my leg up. Good luck to everyone and a speedy recovery!
I cut off the growths on the heel with a triple blade, so that the heel and the wound were bleeding and it was impossible to stand on the heel
I cut off the growths on the heel with a triple blade, I achieved that the heel and the wound were bleeding and it was impossible to stand on the heel, now I’m in full swing
The meat spell helped me. I applied it to this nasty thing, spoke and gave it to the cat in the yard. Only this helped. Amazing.
Girls, tell me, help me what to do? My daughter is 1 year and 7 months old. On the heel a hair grew as black as an eyelash. Doesn't let me pull it out!! even in his sleep he jerks his leg. Of course, tomorrow I’ll go with her to the pediatrician. But the most terrible thoughts overcome me. She's very small. We haven’t bathed anywhere else except the bath. I recently had a viral illness and wasn’t eating well. I cured her and at the end gave her drops of hilak. There was an allergy with a rash. and here is the hair. I'm shocked. Is there really this nasty stuff in tap water? or is it my fault? I didn’t wash something, didn’t vacuum it. She's only run about 5 times barefoot in her entire life. How did you pick it up? and what to do. I can’t warm her leg with soap. she's small. It's kind of scary. and I don’t want to have it cut by a surgeon. Can anyone give me some advice?
People, you are sick in the head. Most of the stories here have nothing to do with the parasite. They diagnose themselves and treat themselves. Ferov alarmists.
