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.

Hi Gerald,
I like your idea of splinting the toes straight. Maybe you could use a
splint you should be able to obtain at an Orthopaedic surgeon's office.
Exercise the toes by pulling them up and back as often as possible. The curl
toe situation just may straighten out with reverse bending and splinting.
