T0E PAIN

Question: I kcep getting a sore between my 4th and 5lh tocs, and il espedally hurts when I’m wearing shoes, I’ve tried putting cotton pads between my toes and wearińg wider shoes but I only get temporary relief. What else can I do?

Answcr: You probably have a type of hammertoe wherc the 5th toe is pressing too hard against the 4th toe.This causes a corn or callus between the tocs, which can becomc an open sorp or evcn an infcction. Trcatmcnts inelude padding and shoegear changcs. but surgery may be rcquircd for per-manent relief. Contact our officc or your foot specialist if you havc additional qucstions or necd help.
