He walks around with sandals, and I hate it! He said he tried everything and nothing works...I'm not sure if that's true, can you help me help him? thanks

The Ortho Dr. that I saw today gave me two options...surgery to repair it or a full cast to let it heal. He gave the % chance or reinjury and pros/cons of each but I wanted some unbiased feedback from folks that have had this injury. Which option did you choose...why...are you happy you made that choice, etc. I am a very active 30 yr old male (if that helps) and wish to return to being fully active ASAP.

thanks for your help!

merry xmas!

I have high arches, have tried the arch supports, heel pads, etc. Alot of people answer these kind of questions with "Go to the doctor", forgetting that not all people have insurance. I'm obviously not going to die from it, I just haven't met anyone yet who suffers from either. The pain radiates, is sometimes burning(nerve?), sometimes stinging, always aching. Should I just cut it off? LOL
I am limping daily. I want to go out hiking, but the payback is a bitch. I do small stretching daily, pulling my toes back, And I take ibuprofen and naproxen regularly.

When I move it, it feels like there is fluid moving there (or it could just be a tendon or something stretching/ripping?). When I walk flat-footed, it is almost unbearable to walk. However, when I walk on my toes, the pain disappears. My foot looks exactly the same as before (no swelling), so it can't be a broken bone. Does anyone know what could be causing this and how to fix it?

Now that I've been back home for a few hours, my toe hurts like hell. Is this pain common, rare but nothing to worry about, or cause for concern?
