toe pain

I’ve had this constant pain in both my big toes for 6 years. I Finally went to my podiatrist and he told me that the pain I have is caused by a rasied bone in the big toes. Every time I walk whether it’s in my merrills or a low heel I have this burning,bone rubbering pain that won’t go away. The podiatrist told me that the surgery he would do consist of shaving down the bone and putting a little screw in there.
If there is another way to take care of this problem please please tell me.
