CROSSED TOES

[mjulian]

Just wondering if anyone else has this problem and managed to resolve it? My 2nd toe is overlapping my big toe - and it is very painful when I walk. I have had it operated on twice - tendon shortened, bone broken and straightened and there are 2 screws in it to try to keep it straight BUT it has still gone back over the big toe. I'm a bit reluctant to have a 3rd op in case it gets worse. Anyone else out there had this problem - and had it successfully corrected?!

When my daughter was young four toes on each foot crossed over.[Looked a bit like pig`s trotters] Each morning I had to straighten, flatten and tape them up. It took a long time but they improved considerably. That she was young and still growing may have helped.

I had trouble when hiking but not as bad as yours. taped each toe up and then taped them together, that seemed to work.
