I had a. Accident over 10 years ago where someone stepped on my left foot to stop them from falling over .. as a result my ligaments were damaged and in gave had to wear orthotics in my shoe. It had troubled me for years and I use to love jogging and cannot run but walk 10,000 steps everyday., now my second toe is curling and leaning to my big toe. I have been told to tape my toe so it points downward and sometimes to my third toe Not sure what to do as it’s started to walk . Not sure how to excercise my toes and podiatrist interested in Just suggesting orthotics or go for surgery ??? Any ideas ? or recommendations?
