Plantar Fascietomy Done, Toes Not Able To Bend, Not Able To Walk. Neuroma Has Been Removed. Advise?

I had a neuroma removed in 2009, I waited 7 months for this to hopefully recover, but to no avail. In 2010 I had a
plantar fascietomy, the foot seemed to be a lot better. In 2012 I had a bunion removed, on the same foot, which
was caused by the bandages being too tight on the neuroma op. After the bunion was removed, I had 2 toes that
didn't bend & 1 toe that wouldn't lift, I was told by the surgeon that it didn't matter if the toes didn't bend, unless I
wanted to do painting with my toes! & was also told that the more I walked the worse my foot would get. I haven't
been for a proper walk since 2009, I cannot get any of my shoes on & have had to wear crocs since 2009. The
surgeon made it blatantly clear that he could not do any more for me, except refer me to Orthotics. I have had
insoles made for my foot, they do not help at all. When I walk, it is like walking on stones. I really have lost all
trust with foot surgeons, I would appreciate your advice on what to do next
Kindest regards
