Default I need some sugg I hurt my foot

Okay I know this is going to sound a little wierd but I've got a mn6 I hurt my ball of my left foot and when I push down on that jagged metal clutch pedal it just kills my ball of my foot any suggestions on how to make some kind of pad on the clutch pedal to keep it from make it feel like I'm cutting my foot open with a razor blade.A automatic is not and option or another car.Thanks

I think you're missing the point here. Maybe your body is trying to tell you to have your foot checked out. This is not normal so you may have an issue that can be caught if you have it looked at in time. I'd get that checked out if I were you.

Try zip tying a pad to the clutch pedal.

Lotta raising the bridge here. You should be trying lowering the water on this thing. Until you get your "healing" on, ya might as well be wishing for a billion dollars. Life will be here when you get back; take a break and enjoy some of life's other pleasures for a minute. And don't make things worse by asking your body parts to deliver when they're in need of repair (ya wouldn't ask it of your car).

And get your healing on.

S'all good, Bro.

Go to the local drug store and purchase a 'spur' pad - these are used on heel, or ball of the foot for bone spur relief.

They have a small hole in them - put the hole over the affected area.

Way they work is to allow the pad to absorb the majority of the 'weight' placed on the area - with the hole not incurring any weight.

Let me suggest some good support for your feet too. I spent a lot of time on my feet and have not found a better everyday shoe than Clarks:

Gym shoes with a lot of padding and not those (Nike shoes) with barely any padding on the front. also try to use the tip or the arch of the foot as a pressure point.

Good luck either way
