It sounds like you might be experiencing symptoms related to claw toes or hammer toes, which can be associated with rheumatoid arthritis. Here are some key points from my knowledge base:

- Claw Toes: This condition can cause toes to curl downward into a claw-like position. It may lead to calluses on the top of the toe over the first joint and can create problems fitting into shoes. Causes can include rheumatoid arthritis, ankle fractures, or other brain and nervous system disorders.
- Hammer Toes: The middle joint of the toe bends, causing the end part of the toe to bend down into a claw-like deformity. Over time, the toe may become painful and difficult to move. Corns and calluses can form due to the abnormal shape and pressure.

If you are experiencing these symptoms, it is advisable to contact a healthcare provider for a thorough examination and appropriate treatment options.

My husband got these things to put between his toes and something he slides on to keep his toes straight. Talk to a podiatrist!
