Hi all,
I've been getting terrible pain at the top of my feet, one heel and my toe.
My toe issue is from an old injury and i suspect needs operating on.
I think what I need to see is an orthopaedic doctor, can anyone recommend a good one.
Thanking you in advance.

Hi, with the heel pain, is it kind of along the bottom of your foot, and worse first thing in the morning? if that sounds familiar, look up the symptoms of plantar fasciitis, an inflammation of soft tissue - it can be helped with a cushioned insole, good supportive footwear and other things including exercises with rolling a tennis ball under your foot, and alternating ice pack with a heat pack, among other things. Might be worth a quick look online to see if symptoms fit? Sorry I can't recommend a doctor for this but if it is this, you might be able to manage it yourself and it does eventually resolve. If you have an existing injury your foot might be working extra hard to compensate.
