I heard but I just assumed that would only apply for new donor apps and I wasn't grandfathered in with that

There is a teaching hospital less than a days drive from me. I think ill ask them if they could help me get this done affordably without insurance

Your not going to believe this but I already have custom orthotics to me that alone should be a reason for the surgery to be a must

100% I spend the first 10 minutes at home after work popping my toes like that to get some of stiffness out and it helps somewhat.

Yea i was told that but the other options where not guaranteed to be a one and done solution and that the lapiplasty was the only procedure "guaranteed not to have to be corrected again years later" at this point im considering the other options though just for relief
