My right foot is twisted inward and ive walked on the right side of my foot my entire life. My current surgeon {smart guy just young and not enough experience} told me that when walking ppl use their heel and big toe so removing digits 4 and 5 would not effect the way I walked. Because I was clubbed foot you can see how this has effected me. After the removal of digits 4 and 5. the bones running up my foot that was connected to toes (4 and 5) started to work out the right side of my foot until they eventually did. Now I have(try to imagine) 3 toes with bones connected to a heal, but I still walk on the right side of that foot. If you look at it from the bottom it looks like im just walking on the bottom plate of my foot and because of the way my foot is twisted my big toe and the two others don't touch the ground when i walk (the pain is beyond belief). My question is , is it possible to somehow correct the angle of that foot to where my heel and big to are touching first when i take a step. My diabetes has been under 125 without medication, through diet and exercise for over a year now and ive build up plenty of strength. I have plenty of feeling in my foot and i can wiggle all my toes. Im even ticklish if a feather is moved down my foot. Im willing to do anything. (i would imagine) breaking my foot and realigning it in the correct position and then using metal pins to keep it straight, im desperate and i will try anything. I do not want to loose my foot witch has already been suggested. Please respond to this asap i will greatly appreciate any and all advice.
