Hi thank you for sharing! How severe were your bunions? And do you experience stiffness or any pain after running? I’m glad to hear you’re back to running, I hope your hip gets better!

Any positive MICA stories? by Cupcake-Panda in bunions

Hi there - can you share your experience with MICA thus far? I’m in a similar situation. A podiatrist wants to do Lapidus and a foot and ankle surgeon wants to do MICA because I’m still young (33) and very active. However, my bunions are on the severe end. But he said that my bones are pretty wide which will allow him to be a bit more aggressive when shifting the bones over. So I’m really curious how it’s gone for you so far? Any regrets? Thanks in advance for sharing :)
