Guest guest Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 Could you please email me and tell what they did and How Bad it was. I want the truth, so I know exactly what to expect from day 1 to the time you went home. I just do not know what they do in these newer operations.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 Hey Everyone, Elaina's comments about surgery prompted me to respond since her feet sound very much like mine. I just returned from an appointment with my surgeon following major reconstructive surgery on my right foot 6 weeks ago. He fused my ankle, straightened my big toe, " released " my Achilles' tendon, and flattened my arch--lots of surgery. The initial results are very promising. I am starting to walk again with 25% of body weight and the walker. Within 4 weeks I will be 100% of body weight and will use crutches for balance. Eventually only a cane for balance. Amazingly, I am completely without pain. I can hardly believe it. Surgery was recommended years ago, but I had to be psychologically ready and I was not. Prior to surgery, I had lots of pain for years and for the last year was taking hydrocodone or oxycodone as needed, usually once a day, and an occasional gin martini. I took pain meds for a few days following surgery, but have taken oxycodone maybe 3 times in the past month--only 1/2 a pill when I had some aches keeping me awake. I have only had 2-3 drinks since my surgery. I feel better than I have in years. In a few months I will have my other foot done, but it is in better shape than my right foot, so the procedure will not be as extensive. I'm looking forward to a continued rapid recovery. By the way, I am 58 and looking forward to my 60th birthday when I will have 2 functional feet and will retire too. Being off work for these few weeks has given me a taste of retirement and I like it!! Good luck in your decision about surgery. If you decide to do it, find the very best surgeon you can. I did and am delighted with the results. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
