I was diagnosed with fallen arches quite a few years ago. My big toe has become seperated from the rest of my toes. I've tried exercises nothing seems to help. It's particularly bad on the first muscle joining the foot, it swells there sometimes and i have cramps. if i curled my toes sometimes it locks into place.my doctor years ago said i could have corrective surgery. I wanted to try the arch supports and physio rather than have two broken feet. however, now it's been going on long enough, i've had it maybe all my life (i'm 28) and i think it is having a knock-on effect as it makes me walk a little funny and i now have problems with my knees. what is the surgery, if i was to have it? and is it definately fallen arches?
