I have brachymetatarsia on the second metatarsals

I’m 56 years old and no one ever told me that my short second toes were a congenital deformity until this week when I went to a podiatrist for the first time in twenty years. (Twenty years ago I surgery on my left foot for a bunion and Morton’s neuroma.)
My deformity affects the second toe of each foot - I also have “windswept toes” and my dr says she could have done a lot to correct my foot problems if she had seen me as a child.

I’m just going to wear toe separators and try not to be so embarassed anymore when I wear sandals.
