foot surgery!
I have diabetes mellitus (type 2) Aged 28 and the appearance of my big toe is not good it’s got lumpy bits on it.And I have pain in the right big toe.Between the age of 16-22 I did take anabolic steroids.And I have flat feet I have been referred for surgical a consultation.
What would you suggest and if surgery what kind? and I am a competitive athlete so the presentation of my feet is very important to me…..will surgery leave any scars?

You have many questions and unfortunately not given enough information. Why did you take anabolic steroids? How well is your diabetes controlled? Have you had X rays? What type of flat foot do you have? Have you had custom orthotics? I can answer your last question- Yes, surgery will leave a scar. You need to discuss all these concerns with your doctor. Write them down if necessary so you don't forget. Good luck.
