I'm scared to be put under for them to removed my bunion ..why I'm asking does age affect the procedure ..like tonsils..it's best to get them out when you're young because you can die if removed when you're older? LOL I know it sounds weird but I'm 40 and scared of having foot surgery.View Thread
The only problem I kept running into at EVERY followup is that my bone graft wasn't healing to my bone. I did a stimulator forever on it, cut down on my smoking and after the cast was removed, I stayed in my boot for 14 months.. only to find out there was hardly any change. My doctor (who I loved) said it was healing well enough that I could have another surgery to remove the excess bone graph off the top-- which made me look like I had a huge tumor on the top of my foot. I did the surgery and eased out of the boot. Now here we are, at the end of 2010 and the bone graft is still sliding out, I still have chronic pain, and only feel comfortable (physically and mentally) with tennis shoes on. I have to get all my shoes, including my boots stretched in order to put a shoe on. I work in an office and can't wear heals--unless I plan on being carried out by the end of the day from pain.
What can I do about the chronic swelling? As you know.. chronic swelling has hardened. The tumor-looking bump on my foot is pretty embarrassing and very painful to the touch and it's been almost 2 years. Im 21 and am very restricted.View Thread
