I had bunion and hammertoe surgery about a year ago on my left foot. Instead of removing the bunion the doctor just shaved it. As a result when it healed, my big toe healed severely bent to the left. It pushed the toe next to it out of joint and now it is crossed over the middle toe and won't straighten out. I have to wear a foam piece to keep my toes from rubbing together. I used to be able to wear "B" width shoes but now my left foot is one and one quarter inches wider than my right foot. The bunion is bigger than it was before the surgery. Even extra wide shoes don't fit on my left foot without hurting. I went to my doctor and he said live with it my foot will always be wider. I have a lot of skin breakdown on the second toe because since it crosses over the middle toe, it rubs against all my shoes. My foot was relatively normal before the surgery but now it looks deformed, kind of like a clenched fist.
