A hammertoe doesn't usually happen overnight, it develops gradually, and the earlier you catch it, the more options you may have.
Many people ignore the first signs, thinking it's "just a crooked toe." But as time goes on, it can become stiffer, more painful, and start rubbing against your shoes, making everyday walking uncomfortable.
If something about your toes doesn't look or feel right, don't wait until it's affecting your quality of life.
