recurring corn pain in toe

I am going to the foot doctor to have a corn removed on my pinky toe....at some point I am probably going to need surgery to shave some of the bone in my little toe...anyone ever have this done before?

Re: recurring corn pain in toe

I have had something like that for a very long time. The corn is right up against the nail and it is tiny but it feels like I'm being stuck with a pin when I walk on it. The nail itself is being pushed back when I walk, so I have to keep it very short. I hope to have surgery within the next few months. I have had steroid injections at times when the pain was in a bad flare state. That helps temporarily but some doctors will not do it. I wish I had not waited to have the surgery. My insurance is going to be changing so now I have to wait until I know more about my new plan.
