This sub has me scared for surgery now
Y'all are really scaring me about getting my surgery with some even calling it a regret. I almost made the mistake of going through a Podiatrist but got a second opinion from an Ortho (with a much better surgery approach) and felt much better about it... until I got to this sub. If I don't fix the bunion I will continue to get fractures in my metatarsals. They've apparently been breaking off and on for years and I shrugged it off until I started limping 6 months ago.
Here's what I am getting:
Right 1st tarsometatarsal fusion/Lapidus, modified McBride, medial eminence resection, proximal tibial autograft, 3rd metatarsal ORIF with nonunion, 2nd metatarsal ORIF with nonunion, strayer gastrocnemius recession.
Scheduled for surgery next week.
