How To Treat Bone Spurs On The Big Toes?
I have seen a podiatrist for bone spurs on the main joint of each big toe. I cannot bend my big toes back as far as they should go. He said I will need surgery and he will shave the spurs down and take out some bone and move the big toe back. should i get a second opinion from an orthopedic surgeon

Hi,
If you are doubtful, please take second opinion with the reports. Bony spurs which are painful and causing restriction of movement usually needs excision. Also, get your Sr uric acid done to rule out the underlying cause.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
