need feedback from surgery survivors

[Guest guest]

I had my arches lowered and that procedure automatically lowered fixed most

of my toes.

Wish I could be more help.

Hello Everyone,

I posted a few days ago, and received a few replies. But, I am

looking to hear from anyone who has had a surgery in which the bones

in your toes are fused together in order to correct pain caused by

hammer toes. I am scheduled to have the surgery soon, and still have

some anxieties about it that I am seeking to soothe...or perhaps even

back out at the last second. A Neurologist recommended and referred

me to a podiatrist who will perform the surgery, so it must be ok.

The Neurologist informed me that others with CMT under go this

procedure quite often. I obviously haven't done my homework, but am

most interested in individual experiences and testimonies. If you

have had this operation, or even have considered it at some point, if

you would be so kind to share your experience, knowledge, thought

process...whatever....it would be much appreciated. Thank you!
