Chikohn, we have the same weird orientation of ring toe! I call mine the hunchback. @Celia- maybe it’s different problems, but i had a lifetime of bunions, no arches, foot pain- in my 20s i had foot reconstruction (arch build, bunionectomy) on each foot, one at a time. It was a loooong process, but the best thing I could have ever done. EVER. Pain GONE…and it’s 11 years later!

Broken bones don’t necessarily hurt as much as you might think. I once broke my nose (rather, an 8-year-old girl broke it for me), and I didn’t realize it was broken for a month and a half. Go get x-rays.

I want to know how those wonderfully freaky Vibram Five Fingers work for you. I have routinely experienced pain in both feet for years. X-rays, podiatrist, chiropractic, etc. tell me that the bunions “aren’t that bad”. Orthotics helped and yoga taught me to “stand on all four corners” of my feet – a minor revelation, in terms of using them, but no cure. It’s tough to watch my feet further deform but surgery, I’m told (and I feel), is the option to be postponed until I absolutely can’t abide the pain any longer. I’m not there yet – not by a long shot. So, for now, options like the Five Fingers are very attractive. Do tell.

X-rays, ASAP. Knowing it’s out of whack isn’t enough if you don’t know how and why.
