    Hi,
    I had one for years. It always got better in the summer as I was either barefoot or wearing comfy sandals.But come fall when I had to wear closed toe shoes it would get bad enough to where I couldn’t hardly walk. Tried wearing wider shoes, expensive shoes, didn’t work. Had a cortisone shot and that made it worse! Finally had surgery and have had wonderful results!! Too bad my knees are messed up now!
    Hope all works well with you!
