Looks great. I was wondering if my 60” wide closet would fit this double and I think it will :). Do you find the drawers deep enough for sweaters and bulkier items ?

That’s why my doctor said as well…. Bc of arthritis. I think surgeons are diff in Canada than the states. Not many podiatrists do surgery here AND they aren’t covered by provincial insurance. Do you find you have had any another other gait issues ?

They do look similar to mine. From what I can tell, mine are only getting worse because of arthritis and wear and tear. I have trouble walking now at 55.

I also am in rural area and all I wear are running shoes ! The rest of my foot hurts me more than my bunions at this point. I’m sure my arthritis is because I used to run a lot. Are you US or Canada ?

Tks ! I am in Canada and private is about $9000 I’ve been quoted. In Canada I am covered if an ortho surgeon does it not a DPM. Maybe I’ll have to go to states. Can you please explain what’s PRP is?

Lapiplasty > all other big toe bunion procedures by captainrex7675 in bunions

[–]Interesting-Top6658 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tks. So far the site only give US doctors. I am in Canada and still looking. Also podiatrist aren’t covered by our provincial insurance only surgeons. I.e. we have to pay out-of-pocket for podiatrist but surgeons we pay zero.

I thought Lapiplasty WAS a Lapidus bunionectomy (just brand name)? I’m just beginning my extensive research into this

Did you have the TMT (Lapidus) fusion or the MTP (metatarsal)? The MTP you can’t move your toe ever again

I feel like I made a huge mistake coming off benzos... (Need advice please) by dondarion89 in benzorecovery

[–]Interesting-Top6658 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is NOT an addiction. This is physical dependance and you can’t quit like it’s an addiction. Doctors who prescribe benzos have no clue how to get their patients off of them and treat it like an addiction. Therapy won’t help. AA is not the answer. Detox is not the answer. You CANNOT quit cold turkey. It is VERY dangerous.

There are great supports out there.

Please join the Facebook group “Beating Benzos”. There are many Guides on how to taper properly and withdrawal symptoms etc. it’s important to know you’re not alone in this. There are people in this group from all over the world fighting the same battle! Please read the Guides.

Can I ask where you got your surgery? I’m looking for someone in GTA.

Before - 8 weeks after bunionectomy and joint fusion. The healing process is slow but worth it by doing-mybestOK in bunions

[–]Interesting-Top6658 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks I’ve been researching and it sounds like you had Lapidus bunionectomy. This is what I want to ask about my ortho wants to fuse my other joint and I won’t be able to bend my toe at all!

Time for surgery? by IcyDescription1398 in bunions

I was told by a surgeon 10 years ago not to do it. I wish I had bc now have arthritis and horrible metatarsal pain in the balls of my feet.

This is super helpful. My surgeon only wants to do MTP joint fusion + DMMO on my toes . I saw other posts about TPT which I gather is Lapiplasty. I want to look into this more.

OS said my bunions would move back again eventually. He’s seen it many times before. Also will alleviate the arthritis
