Back in May, I stepped on a small pebble which had gotten into my shoe. I removed it quickly, but it was still sore. I didn't think much of this until the next day when I could barely walk. I made an appointment with a podiatrist, and he diagnosed me with bursitis. He gave me a cortisone shot in the toe and told me to come back the following week for a follow-up visit. The next week, he took x-rays and told me I needed the bunion removed Then told me that I would need orthotics. He then gave me a 2nd cortisone shot. Well, I could barely walk when I left is office. A couple days later, I noticed the toe was swollen and very sore. It also started lifting up. I called and made another appointment with the podiatrist, asking him if the orthotic would help the swollen toe or hinder it. He then told me that all he could do was bunion surgery and the toe would drop back down where it belonged.
