My little toe has been very painful since the last surgery, to the point that I could hardly walk. Enougn so that if I lie on my left side, the weight of my foot on my toe is sufficient to cause pain. I was OK as long as I was barefoot, but I was in excruciating pain and unable to walk within five to ten minutes of putting my shoes on. Said shoes are size 13D, two full sizes larger than I wore before the accident.
We went out looking for some wider shoes today. I was looking for size, not brand or style. I wanted 12 to 13, EE to EEE, in anything. What we found was a pair of New Balance in 13EEEE on sale for $49.95.
This seems to have alleviated the problem for now. I have an appointment with my podiatrist next Tuesday to evaluate a longer-term solution.
