Broken toe with drop foot?

I have foot drop, due to an injury I got a few years ago. well, before that I fractured 2 of my toes, but as my doctor diagnosed something else I never got my toes fixed, then it was too late to do anything about it.
After my spinal cord injury which left me with foot drop, I noticed that one of my 2 toes that were previously fractured had started to bend, causing it to be permanently bent. I find it so painful to wear anything other than trainers now & have a bump on my foot instead of a straight toe.
It's the toe next to my big toe.
I also have to pad my trainer underneath the sole of my injured foot because I find it really hurts when I walk. My foot burns a lot.
The foot drop is improving slightly with time but my toe is still bent plus I get a lot of hard skin on the bend of it.
My mate says I could go & get the bone removed from my toe which would mean I could then let it lay flat & maybe wear shoes again.
What can I do about it. I'm always in pain from it.
Thankyou.

A hammertoe is a toe that's curled due to a bend in the middle joint of a toe. Mallet toe is similar, but affects the upper joint of a toe. The differences between hammertoe and mallet toe are subtle. Both conditions are commonly caused by shoes that are too short or heels that are too high. Under these conditions, your toe may be forced against the front of your shoe, resulting in an unnatural bending of your toe.

Aside from wearing crowded shoes, hammertoe and mallet toe may result from muscle and nerve damage (neuropathy) caused by conditions such as diabetes, stroke, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Relieving the pain and pressure may involve changing footwear and wearing shoe inserts. More severe cases may require surgery.

Both hammertoe and mallet toe can cause pain with walking and other foot movements.

See your doctor if you have foot pain that's persistent and that affects your ability to walk properly and carry out other motions with your foot. Also, see your doctor if one or more of your toes has developed a clenched or claw-like appearance.

Your doctor can diagnose hammertoe or mallet toe by examining your foot.

If your toe is still flexible, your doctor may recommend that you change to roomier and more comfortable footwear and that you wear shoe inserts (orthotics) or pads. Wearing inserts or pads can reposition your toe and relieve pressure and pain.

If your toe has become tight and inflexible, your doctor may recommend surgery. The precise procedure depends on how much flexibility is left in your toe.

If your toe has some flexibility, your doctor may straighten it by making an incision in the toe and releasing the tendon.
If your toe is rigid, your doctor may not only cut or realign tendons but also remove some pieces of bone to straighten your toe. This procedure may require that the bones be fixed temporarily with pins while your toe heals.
Usually, you can go home from the hospital on the day of your toe surgery

Speak to an Orthopedic. It sounds similar to "hammer toe" where the toe(s) won't lay flat and are quite painful.

They can surgically correct this. I'm not sure if they actually TAKE OUT the bone, but it can be corrected.

Best wishes.
