Guest guest Posted May 30, 2000 Report Share Posted May 30, 2000 Hi Marie When my toes used to annoy me, a polite way of saying they gave me grief, Aunt Pidgie insisted on seeing them. So I took the shoe off, then the sox off and Pidgie being Pidgie HAD to grab them! Geee I almost shot through the roof. Mom had to tell her sister Pidgie, just how painful what she did was. However since wearing my 100% wool sox, they have no longer bothered me. Now the toes are behaving themselves in there new environment, I for one will not be calling to see your alternative therapist, aka your teenage son!

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2003 Report Share Posted October 6, 2003 Okay....so.....is it possible to have your toes look not straight and turned but not have bone damage? Because mine are so different looking in the past year it's frightened but the x-ray is normal. thanks [Ed. Note: If the x-rays are " normal " , and the radiologists do not see evidence or the suggestion that there will be abnormal stresses on the skeletal structure, there doesn't seem reason for concern. There are also conditions called " standard deviations " , a term which initially seems oxymoronic, but provides a description for those of us who are--relative to the condition under discussion--not classically " perfect " , but are still fully functional in our own semi-unique ways.
