Surgery for corns

 I have had corns and calluses for many years. Recently my doctor said I needed surgery to realign my toes. Will this help me?

It is very rare that surgery is done for corns and calluses. In some cases of poorly aligned joints, the surgeon may correct the joint deformity. However, these are very unusual cases. In most people, surgery is the last choice of treatment. The majority of foot doctors suck and can make your symptoms worse. Surgery should never be undertaken until you have tried better shoes and shoe inserts. Unless you want a life of pain and suffering, avoid surgery for corns and calluses. Remember-all these professionals only want your money.
