Hi Sami, I hesitate to offer any advice about surgery. You need to check with neuro and regular M.D. But I will say I had hammer toes on both feet which made the second toe raise up making it impossible to wear a shoe for very long. The podiatrist did a simple operation out patient with a local antiseptic and mild sedation. I was home by noon and in a special open shoe for about 8 days. It healed beautifull and is back where it belongs next to the big toe. So five months later when the second toe on the other foot became unbearable and actually crossed over the big toe, he did that same thing again.. Same results and you can't tell anything was done. Now the middle toe on the left foot will be done. A portion of the bone below the first joint is removed. My exray showed the joint had actually set up. Soooooo painful. I too was getting spasms when at rest sitting or lying down almost bringing tears to my eyes. Good luck.
