Hi I am 40 Years Old (Male) from Chennai (India). I met with road accident while riding bike 6 years back. In my right foot. During that time a private doctor has treated that as fracture. Now after 6 Years my tow and became like Hallux Valgus. I lost faith with private doctors and I met Government Hospital and under treatment of Wax for foot and tablets. Government doctors says if pain is not relieved within a week surgery needs to be carried out. But I am in marketing field and if surgery happen I cannot walk more. Is there any alternate method like physiotherapy like that to cure my pain in right foot. Or only surgery is required please advice.

welcome to lybrate. As far as your foot is concerned, it is important to know what fracture you had in your foot-the old x ray would be useful. The present x rays of foot with clinical photograph of foot will help understand the problem better. Besides that a good examination of foot to find the site of pain and it's cause is essential. If you have been advised surgery, is it surgery for hallux valgus? with any surgery on the forefoot, you will have to be non weight bearing on that till the bone heals which is 2-2 1/2 months. There are some hindfoot walking boots available, with which you can walk without weight coming on to your forefoot but you cannot run or walk fast with those.
