Totally agree on not trusting any one doctor. Nowadays, I basically assume doctors are narrow minded experts and do the broader thinking myself (by reading widely). It’s the old saying that when you have a hammer everything looks like a nail. I wish I realized the extent to which this is true earlier.

My issue happened to be with sesamoid/metatarsal fracture, flat rootedness, and poor gait. No doctor cared about my gait which turned out to be the root cause of my other symptoms. They all wanted to do surgery/orthotics and basically thought that would fix it alone vs combined with PT.
