What's Wrong with Steven Tyler's Feet (Besides the Toenail Polish)?

By Michele R. Berman MD,

Published: January 10, 2012

In our latest installment of Ailments of Aging Rock Stars, we describe one thing that can happen to your feet after jumping around on stage for decades.

In 2008, Tyler underwent surgery on his feet "to correct long-time foot injuries resulting from his trademark athletic performance onstage." He had been diagnosed with a condition called Morton's neuroma, and was told by his orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Brian McKeon, that it would require a number of surgeries to repair.

As Steven put it in his book Does the Noise in My Head...oll Memoir:

What they had to do was to cut some bone and take two knuckles out of my feet. They also took out a ganglion of nerves. The nerves that are in your feet are small as a dime, but mine were the size of a quarter, big and bulbous and traumatized to the point where they had to be taken out ... so now there's just phantom pain there, like a guy who gets his arm cut off and still feels his fingers.

The post-surgical pain was so bad, the he found himself back in rehab. As he told People magazine:

The 'foot repair' pain was intense, greater than I'd anticipated. The months of rehabilitative care and the painful strain of physical therapy were traumatic. I really needed a safe environment to recuperate where I could shut off my phone and get back on my feet.

Tyler also intimated that he took his current gig on American Idol partially as a way to slow down, get off the road, and rest his chronically painful feet.

now, the mystery is over

the poor fella is sufferin', give him a rest, lol

I bet Jagger gets his pedi's like clockwork

I don't care what the reason, those toes are horrendous!

Where's the gif of that old lady from Rosemary's Baby that says: "Look at his feet!"

Really, he's lucky he can even walk. By this time, after what he's been through he probably doesn't give a shit what they look like.

Oh no, I feel bad for snickering. I wish him well.

Yeah, he's probably thanking god he can take a stroll down the beach again--blue nail polish and all!

That's why I said that he always had his nails painted. I saw his nails painted like 19 years ago.
