What Causes Pain On Feet?

I have been on inhaled corticosteroids for asthma f o r quite some time. I recently started having pain on bunion areas on my feet. The Podiatrist took an xray and says that I either have cysts on both bunions or there are softened areas. He says that this will not affect the bunionectomy because the bone will be shaved. He says that the rest of the bones in the foot look strong. I also have a little more than moderate joint laxity in all of my joints including my feet. Should I obtain a second opinion from an orthopedic foot surgeon. Once we talked about my joint laxity he said he would be careful not to over correct me. I am also concerned about bone deterioration in my feet. Any suggestions ? Thanks

hi,

thank-you for providing the brief history of you.

A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised.

I agree to your podiatrist that the bunionectomy will not help to a greater extent because your joints are LAX and due to which desire results can be obtained. Also, undergoing physical therapy will help you strengthen the muscles and get a good relief.

In my clinical practice 99% recovery is achieved only with physical therapy.
