Re: Did my workout!I'

[Guest guest]

I think they're trying to exhaust all non-surgical possibilities. I seem to start improving, then not so there is hope... I can't say that I enjoy the injections but I don't want to be off work if I can help it (well, I wouldn't mind the break but it is hard to let someone else lead my groups) so for right now I'm okay with continuing with trying it this way. I would like to know more about what to expect from surgery though so I will email you offlist too. Thanks!

Re: Did my workout!

,Having walked in your (orthopedic) shoes myself, part of me is wondering why they have just gone ahead and operated on it. It could have been healed and over with by now. I had two nerves cut with one surgery (one between my 2/3 toe and one between my 3/4 toe), and I don't regret it in the least. I used to get some really stabbing pains up my foot and leg, especially if I stepped on it wrong. I was riding horses at the time, and remember stepping down and nearly collapsing on the dismount when my sore foot touched the ground (a very unsafe place to fall!!)The surgery was a hassle for about 2 weeks, and it took about 4 more to get back up to full speed, but I haven't had that problem since then. Email me off list if you want to hear what all I went through with that. Foot surgery is not as horrid as it sounds.
