This link will give you some foot surgery information.

When I was about 10 or so, I had the tendon surgery on both feet

during one summer. This was recommended by an orthopedists, since

back then there weren't neurologists as we know them today; and my

problems were mechanical in nature.

I am 51 now and that is the only foot surgery I have needed for CMT

problems. Sure made the quality of my life better. But the burning

feet I have had since I was 7 - off and on - that is something

surgery can't correct (it is a nerve thing) but ice, Biofreeze,

wearing orthotics, and changing my shoes offers relief.

As for cold feet, perhaps SmartWool socks or Ugg foot wear would be a

solution? I love my Uggs, they are just so comfortable to wear and

soft. They can warm feet and they also cool my feet.

Back to foot surgery, ask orthopedists who specialize in feet and

ankles for opinions.
