Throbbing tonight No photo description available. Shared post Anonymous member Nobody in my family has bunions except my aunt is that normal? Shared post KnowledgeablePeapod1058 How did YOU know you also wanted your bunionette (Tailor) removed? I’m having pain on the ball of my foot under it, not in the side. I’m having my Austin bunionectomy removed Friday. Trying to decide whether to be proactive and if this is a discomfort that may let up when the larger big toe bunion is removed. Polite and kind responses only please. Shared post CreativeEagle2233 Please can someone who has been in this situation advise me. Seen surgeon x rays show bunion but arthritis quite bad in big toe. He advises fusion which initially I thought ok I'd go along with. Now I'm having doubts. I don't wear stilettos or massive heels but I do like my shoes and knowing I'll never be able to wear more than 2cm heels or have to wear ghastly ( in my opinion) wedges is really bothering me. I'm also short and having lost my 6ft husband last year I need my tiptoes daily to reach things. So although I'm nearly 70 I'm really active and while I don't run marathons I do like long walks So now I'm thinking I'd rather have the joint replaced I'm aware it's a 5-10 year life on it but my theory is by then I may well be less bothered and it can be fused then if necessary. If I fuse first then no joint replacement. Recovery looks same from my research. Any advice on this please Please can someone who has been in this situation advise me.

Shared post KnowledgeablePeapod1058 I am getting an Austin Bunionectomy for toe one RIGHT FOOT. He asked about fixing the hammertoe for #4 and the bunionette on #5. My pain isn’t as great on the right side of my foot, however I’ve gone barefoot on purpose this week around the house and there are pressure points. For those of you that have had it done, is it worth it IN YOUR OPINION (keep it nice please) to do the 4th and 5th or less is better? I’d rather not do this twice but fixing 1 may take pressure off the others. Make sense? I am getting an Austin Bunionectomy for toe one RIGHT FOOT.

I just wanted to introduce myself and share a photo I took. I’m Stephanie. I’m 52. I’ve had bunions since I was a teenager in high school. I put off the surgery as I was told to not do it until it hurt enough. No one tells you what enough is. I waited until it was hard to walk and hurt and I was falling. I had my left foot surgery May 25th as it was the worst of the two and the one giving me the most pain. Last week I got the all clear to walk on my toes, shower like a normal person without the bath chair and bag around my leg. I can wear open toed shoes on both feet. I get to be normal. So… I work in education. I will be on my feet most of the day. I know there will be swelling. What shoes/sandals do I need to get in transition? Right now everything is too tight on my operated foot due to swelling and seems not padded enough it seems. What do I need? When did you all get your other foot done after the first? I look forward to everyone’s input, help, and details with this. It all helps. Hi all! I just wanted to introduce myself and share a photo I took. I’m Stephanie. I’m 52.
