My wife may think I'm "Mc Dreamy" But I'm definately not a real doctor or the TV kind...however,

I've known a bunch of folks who have suffered with this over time...Since you have changed just about everything to no avail your next step may be to seek the help of a real pro...as the article says it can affect various parts of the foot.
As to the Speed Play...great pedals used 'em for a long time. Switched to Look (much larger platform than the lollypops) when I started to have some foot pain...much happier now.

Thanks. I am going to see someone about injections this week and have already gotten some look pedals to try.
I need help! I have been sufferring from an extremely sharp pain in my big toe to the point I can no longer pedal or apply force to the pedal when biking. It only bothers me when biking and not running. It started happening a year ago after about a 4 + hour ride and gradually got worse with less riding time to the point it hurt severly after 1 hour of riding. I have tried changing shoes, socks, positioning and still no improvement. I currently use Speedplay pedals which I was going to switch but was told they have the most surface area which should decrease my problem. Any suggestions?
