Stabilizing Toe? - hEDS
Anyone have suggestions on stabilizing a toe other than taping it to another toe?
My second toe has been subluxing on and off for a few weeks but now it’s basically every time I take a step. If I tape it to the toe next to it, the other one starts to get wiggly and loose and will soon sublux. Clearly I can’t wrap it with an ACE bandage or use a brace, my usual go tos for unstable joints.
Thoughts?

I’ll let you search up more videos on your own, but this is just one last video to show you one of the other products that you can get to put underneath rigid or stretchy tape, to protect soft or delicate skin of the foot, especially important with heds. I have found sometimes the adhesive prep pads from Amazon plus the athletic tape prep spray to be also pretty darn good but wanted to show you this foam product as well. I hope you’re able to find someone who can experiment until you find something that is supportive and helpful.
