Foot Pain
I have had pain in both of my feet for the last 9 months. I went to a podiatrist who told me what the problem was( hammer toes). I went to another podiatrist who told me an entirly different answer(bunions). Both included surgical procedures, but in differnt areas of my feet. Should I seek another opinion?

Hi Jnicker,
Welcome to the forum! I definetly wouldn't go through with any surgical procedures while there are still conflicting opinions. How did each doctor come to their seperate conclusions? Did they have similar examinations and tests? Perhaps you might want to get an opinion from an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in feet to get an opinion from a different perspective.

Both of the doctor's took x-rays and then gave me their diagnosis. You're right, I have just made an appt. with an ortho-foot doctor to get a different perspective. Thanks for posting.
