I have a major problem with my foot so probably should be talking with a podiatrist. I have a bunion, which in itself is not hurting me, and I still have good range of motion in the joint, but the toe beside the bunion, and the pad underneath the toe, is so painful It is difficult for me to walk on. I have been wearing orthotics for 10 years and flat comfortable shoes. I had a bunion operation on the other foot 10 years ago, which has done no good, reverted back to a toe that curves over the next toe and is rotated, so am leary about having another operation. What to do? I ve been told many different stories from both podiatrists and orthopods.
