My pinky folds down and I got a bump below my pinky. All the podiatrists say it is not a tsailors bunion. Idk what to do. 4th toe also curls bad and hurts.

I think you injured it when you had your fall. It looks like a rotated little toe. Unfortunately, I don’t know if anything other that surgery will help it. And even after surgery you may have residual discomfort but hopefully less. Stress to your doctors that you had that fall. I don’t think I relayed the fact that I had an injury well enough when I spoke with doctors. So they did the cookie cutter fixes (neuroma resection and toe shortening) rather than repairing the actual injury (plantar plate) properly.

The best thing that I have found to realign the toes is taping.

I think maybe I also did something driving without a proper support on my inside arch.

I’m gonna see another orthopedic surgeon next week. Unless she recommends surgery I’ll be going this custom shoes route. I just suck at communicating. I hope it works for me Hell I think if custom shoes can work and get me around surgery one way or another, that’s probably better anyway
