Gerald ~
I have not heard of this problem before but if it were me in this
predicament, I would get a second and third opinion from other
podiatrists. I never take the word of one doctor when a "scalpel" is
mentioned!!
Good luck to you. I hope someone on this list can be of more help to
you.

My number two toes (the ones next to the big toes) curl down so that the
ends of the toes face the floor. When I walk it hurts. My podiatrist says
I need to have the tendon on the bottom of the toes cut to allow the toes
to go straight again?
I hesitate to do this. Do any of you have/had the same problem with a
better solution?
I thought that a device that would fit under the toe and then tape the toe
straight to it would work, but I have not been able to find anything like
that.
Help.
