I have gone to pain drs, therapy, chiro and foot doctors with no relief....I have siactic and foot pain and since last summer my left foot is turning outwards making me unsteady at times..also the left leg over the years has become uneven, making it seem shorter... injections, chiropractic, back surgeon, foot and ankle dr....Back dr says I have 2 nerves that are being pinched (from mri) and he wants to operate and put plate and pins in my back with a few months wearing a brace....the foot dr took exray of left foot and says my inside tendon is stretched, gave me a couple of different braces to wear, but not much relief..also had an mri of foot to confirm stretched tendon...said he could put a pin in outside of ankle to straighten my foot, but need to ask him if that would ease the pain, this is a constant pain...can t go walking anywhere, except to stores that have grocery carts...no mall walking or anywhere lots of walking is necessary...oh, also my spine is curved and I am 69 years of age...can t work out in the yard and much housework, I am not sure is pinched nerves and foot pain are related...if I got my back worked on, would it help my foot, don t want surgery , not knowing if my pain will go away...I know nothing is a guarantee...do you have any answers for me?
