Hammer Toe
Not exactly life threatening, but it can be a pain & curtail activity. Anyone had experience with it, & do you know of any remedies (exercises, eg) short of surgery?

You might wish to visit a podiatrist (as opposed to an orthopedist) and tell him or her that you would like to treat this nonsurgically if possible. Maybe they can construct something to help you do that.

Re: Hammer Toe
THanks, Rich. Different shoes do seem to make a difference. Unfortunately my favorite exercise shoes seem to aggravate it, so I guess I need to find new ones.
What causes these conditions? Are the tendons shortened for some reason? |
