X-rays showed that I had a large bone spur in between the talus and tibia in the front of my ankle. I had one surgery to remove the bone spur. 5 months later, I had the Evans Calcaneal with a bone graft and a Gastroc. Recession to correct my arch. During post op my doc saw that the hardware in the Evans was shifting and causing an impingement. I also lost most of the arch that was created. Within 6 months after that i had a hammertoe corrective surgery to correct the 2nd and 3rd digit. Now I am about 2 months out of that surgery and he is suggesting a Cotton Osteotomy and also adjusting the hardware from the Evans. Is this normal to have so many surgeries? Or to have a Cotton Osteotomy to correct a previous Osteotomy? All of the surgeries have been performed within a year, how long will it take for me to run again?

It hurts a bit sometimes and I still have the weird numb, swollen feeling on my toe. So, how can I make a homemade splint for my toe? Should I go to the podiatrist instead? Thank you!

Should I go to the podiatrist again to see if everything is okay? What should I do for my toe until then? Buddy tape it? What? Thanks!

I can’t do the splits with my left leg because all the muscles in my left knee pull and it hurts. My fourth toe of my left foot is numb and swollen from hammertoe surgery I had on it last year because my podiatrist accidentally cut a nerve. Should I see a physical therapist for those. School starts for me tomorrow! Help!!! I’m only 15!!! Please help! I’m not faking or making it up!

Should I ask my mom if she could take me to the podiatrist? What should I do about my toe? I don’t want to have it amputated. That won’t help and it will be permanent. So, no amputation. Please help and tell me? Thanks!

Every toe feels great except for one. The pain is horrible! It hurts if I move it, touch it, and specifically if I touch the area around my toe (like where the toe connects to the foot). I don’t know what is wrong but I can’t take the pain. Could the stitches have gone too deep? Could it be nerve damage?

Im 16 and i have CP, which has really affected my legs. My heel cord is so tight that, when i walk, i walk on the outside part of my foot, and i often roll my ankle when just walking. I will be getting surgery soon to fix hammertoes and was thinking that they could fix my heel cord at the same time. If there is a surgery that will fix my heel cord, can you put a link that explains the surgery so i can talk to my doctor about it? If you need any more information, ill answer any questions. Thanks

I’m thinking my podiatrist accidentally cut a nerve while operating on my toe. What do I do? I’m 15- years- old and had the hammertoe surgery when I was 14. It is still numb on the top side and swollen a bit. Please help? Thank y’all!
