I have had 2 foot surgeries, first one was a crack in the big toe which produced a spur. The next was a joint replaced for the big toe because it had no cartliage. The xray showed that the surgical procedure was ok but I'm still having pain in the ball of the foot under the big toe and on the side. The surgeon said that he might have to removed the replacement but I don't think it's the replacement because I can move the toe without any trouble. If he removes the replacement and there is nothing in the joint I will still have the same pain I am having now plus the pain of the joints rubbing together again. I'm thinking of getting a second opinion from a orthopedic specialist. My first two surgeries were done by a podiatric specialist.
