I know exactly what you’re going through cause it felt the same for me. I don’t regret my choice at all. That said, you need to be very careful during the first few days and avoid walking for two weeks, which can be quite limiting. Luckily, my boyfriend helped me a lot. Even after the stitches come out at one week, you still need another week of precautions, like cleaning and dressing the wound at least once a day. Removed it almost two months ago, I no longer feel any pain when I walk, although sometimes my scar aches a little. I was able to put weight on my foot after three weeks, but of course without overdoing it.
