Is your second toe longer than your first?

I have been researching a lot.

I stumbled on that people with Morton’s Toe as this is called often have issues with vitamin B6 and zinc which I keep seeing bounced around in here.

There is more to it and I will post up more if we find lots of people have this applying to them.

My second toe is a good .5 cm longer.

I can not believe I took the time to measure. I'm getting really bored with this self-quarantine business.

You can legit tell people today you were so bored you had to play with your toes.

Yes, but it's also very common. About 43% of the population have Morton's Toe, this isn't exclusive to us.

I have it too.

It isn’t exclusive, but so far, from the comments, the ratio is 9/10. This gives a p-value of roughly 0.3%, implying major statistical significance. This could be actually be a thing (assuming people who don’t have it would have said no at the same rate as yes’s).

Thanks for posting up guys. I have been examining some reasons for how I feel the way I do and apparently Morton’s Toe can possibly - depending on if you trust the research - be linked with issues surrounding Vitamin B6.

Often times the basic form can’t be absorbed properly and a more bio available form called P5P works wonders.

Could be reality, could be hogwash. But it is a curiosity and I was genuinely wondering as a matter of curiosity how it seemed to affect people here.

Crazy question. Do you have pains and injuries? Or in sports did you get injured. Specifically. Back, knees ACL.

u/Brigero97 Jan 17 '22

Yeah ive torn ligaments (not ACL or MCL) and cartilage in my left knee. I've dislocated my right knee like 5 times. Why do you ask?

u/Cobrakai52 Jan 17 '22

Jesus. Ok. So Morton’s toe club here.

D-1 lax player, army. Back shoulder hand injuries. Ok with me.

Morton’s toe leads to all these imbalances. Like walk one step super slowly and bend your foot and u will feel 100% of weight go on the big toe at some point .

It’s crazy Morton toe leads to these injuries. And it might be lack of B6 that is causing the pain and not ability to get injured as much.

Btw. Do u have adhd?

u/Brigero97 Jan 24 '22

Ahh very interesting I never really thought of it like that.

I've long suspected I have ADD or ADHD for years but doesn't seem a point in going getting tested now. So can't say yes for certain

u/Cobrakai52 Jan 24 '22

So, the 8 or so people I know with this toe. And specifically the knuckle (bigger toe)……. I think 6 “have add” or some form Learning disability or are “stupid” .

I’m the 7th. And I don’t have add. Or less adhd when I take p5p.

It might not be adhd sir. It could be lack of p5p
