Sue,

This sounds like the way I described my foot. Almost like the bone were floating around in a bad of fluid with each step. Guess what the doctors found? Exactly that! Erosion had caused giant gaps so the metatarsals were nowhere near the attaching bones. The "fix" was to screw the whole thing back together.

I won't say the surgery was easy, but it was (after the healing) so much better. The surgeon said I could have caused progressive damage.

We can all guess what is going on with your foot, but you DO NEED to get someone to check it out. Even if it is not-so-good news, that's better than being in the dark.

Hugs,

Mike
