I have not had any replies to my question What is Cavo Foot, and is it related to Arthritus? Maybe somebody can advise me where I might find the answer. It is quite important that I know if it is related to arthritus. Thanks to any suggestions

Margaret,

Is it possible that you are referring to "cavus foot"? I've never heard of "cavo foot". If so, this might be why no one has been able to offer you any information.

If cavus foot is the problem, I've enclosed links to two web sites with information that might help you. Good luck with your son.

Thank you so much. You were right I had the wrong spelling. My son is 26 and is in some pain with his big toes they are so curled and swollen they look like they could burst. I wondered if it was related to arthritus, I have looked at the web sight thank you very much for the info.
