I'm looking for a good orthopedic surgeon in Gilbert, Arizona. Does anyone have a recommendation? Shared post Andrea Weidenfeld Bitz Any SUGGESTIONS FOR SUPPLEMENTS to help reduce swelling..I know no salt, no alcohol, lots of water, protein, 4-6 oz plain oatmeal in the am with meds and take vitamins C and D before and after. Any other ideas? Peptides (brand?) I’m open to anything. I already ordered some had weights under 12.5 lbs. Thanks Shared post Carol Knowlton-Chirko I’m having surgery, MIS on Thursday. My husband wants to golf the following Tuesday. Can I cut him loose?? Shared post Gina Stoj I am 10 weeks post and it has been going pretty smoothly - with small ups and downs - but normal according to people's posts here. But...last night had the most terrible night. I was getting zapping sensations on my right foot toe at the base. I have had that before maybe once or twice a day. But yesterday evening and all through the night it was basically every 20-30 seconds and they were bad enough that I didn't get any sleep. Is this normal as the nerves heal? Has anyone else experienced this? I am 10 weeks post and it has been going pretty smoothly - with small ups and downs - but normal according to people's posts here.

Shared post HappyOtter7017 Almost 2 weeks post op walking pretty good with crutches! So ready to ditch them! How soon did anyone walk comfortably without any help? Shared post Anonymous member Hi everyone, I joined because I am awaiting an NHS (UK) appointment to get my bunion assessed to see if they will operate as it’s becoming very difficult with the pain it’s causing me. It’s been getting steadily worse and worse over the last 10 years and I’ve finally plucked up the courage to try to do something about it but some of the posts are starting to worry me as it seems like a very painful operation. My question really is, going down the NHS route, is there any possibility of having keyhole surgery or is it just done by the traditional method please? Also, if I ultimately decide to go down the private route for MIS, can anyone (living in the Midlands UK) recommend a clinic. The only ones I have found are in the London area and that would prove difficult. Thanks and very grateful for any advice and helpful information as it’s worrying me as to whether I should even be considering this Hi everyone, I joined because I am awaiting an NHS (UK) appointment to get my bunion assessed to see if they will operate as it’s becoming very difficult with the pain it’s causing me.

My question really is, Shared post Anonymous member I am considering surgery on my bunions. Is there anyone who lives in the Greater Manchester area (UK) who can recommend a surgeon or hospital. Thank you. Shared post Louise Duncan Ellis I’ve had bunions on both feet for years. The left one is worse and as long as I wore soft,stretchy, shoes it wasn’t too bad. I just could not wear any hard/stiff shoes, at least not for long! Now, I’m having pain on the top of my left foot…. Not in my toe or on the bunion, particularly. I’ve been to an orthopedic PA and he said that it’s attributed to the bunion. He basically said he could refer me to the surgeon for a fusion. Gave me a prednisone pack which did help. But pain returned after a few weeks. Tylenol and anti-inflammatory meds help temporarily. I’m wondering if anyone else has had pain on the top of their foot and was it from the bunion? Any shoe touching the top of my foot is uncomfortable at a minimum. Going to a surgeon/podiatrist this week for a 2nd opinion. Thanks for any experience you have had!

I’m 7 weeks after surgery and still struggling with normal walking. Under the pad of my foot is painful. I’ve bought extra wide trainers. Thanks for any advice. Shared post SupportivePear7503 After how many weeks were you able to drive after the surgery ? doctor said 6 weeks . Dod anyone was able to drive before ? Shared post Tiffany Sellers Anyone have an Achilles tendon flare up on the same foot of the surgery. I am having surgery August 17th and woke up this morning unable to walk. I will speak to my doctor Monday. In the meantime ... looks like I will have practice before the surgery 😩 Watching little house on the prairie on Netflix.
