re the hammertoes
Judy,
I actually did read something about spontaneous hammertoes being caused by the toes acting like claws because of persons walking a certain way lifting off more on their toes than their heel so I think your overall gait during hiking could be what created the hammertoes.
With me I've had them forever and the one toe just got worse. Probably also speeded along by my agressive long distance walking where I would force my toes to a certain position w/my gait.
I've not scheduled surgery yet as I'm buying a co op in Laguna Woods Village so now I have to pack yet I want to get that surgery done here w/my podiatrist so don't know how I'll work all this out~ it's good you got it over with. How're you doing??
