Toe shortening - What should I expect from toe shortening surgery?
I have 1 toe on each foot, the one next to the big toe, that is excessively long. So long that it hurts to wear shoes. I work at a job where I'm on my feet 8 hours a day so when I come home, all I want to do is take my shoes off and soak my feet in hot water and just lay down. They have hurt me to the point of making me cry. I really want to have something done to make the pain go away, but I'm not sure about the price of the procedure, where to have it done at, or even if my insurance would cover it?
Is toe shortening really worth the trouble of cost and recovery?
