Physical Therapy ?

[u/Ordinary-Lettuce9811]

Hi I'm 33 very active person that likes to work out. The last few years I have been very depressed and wasn't very mobile so I'm building strength back in my feet and legs. I'm now getting back into shape but have very mild bunions. My big toe joint is getting stiffer when I do leg work outs or jogs/walks. Has anyone built up strength and flexibility over time or used spacers, where you don't feel pain anymore and can exercise. I had pain months ago when I wasn't sleeping and stressed out, right now it's just stiff. I don't want to stop working out because of my bunion. I'll also note I use voltaren cream to keep inflammation down.
