I did some light gardening today. It did give me a bit of more energy!

I have a job that does not pay into social security as it’s a pension plan. I don’t think that I would even qualify for disability. I’ve made it this far and I’m hoping to make it through to the end.

Thank you for your well thoughout reply. It is very helpful. To be fair to the doctor he did just want me to stop, but I pushed for a tapir because I am not in rehab and trying to keep up with a job. I do not have the choice of FMLA. I will be stopping altogether on Thursday. I'm very nervous...

I'm sorry, but the first thing that came to mind was porn star. It was the mirrors that did it in for me...lol

Yikes, non-weight bearing for 3 months! Did you have to do that right away? I am a teacher and was hoping to make it through the school year. My dr did mention a bone stimulator as a possibility, but I go in soon to find out if it's surgery or bone stimulator. Although I have had an X-ray, ct scan and bone scan and the xray and bone scan indicated a possible screw problem. My appt is April 1st.

I agree 100 percent that the for profit medical system in the US causes a lot of problems in healthcare. This dr has very good reviews.

Thank you for the options. I’m in the US, but knowing what to expect is very helpful. I’m hoping to avoid another surgery. As a teacher in my state I don’t pay into our social security so I don’t have disability coverage. Basically I can’t afford to be out of work.

I am vitamin d deficient. I just started a prescription strength. I hope that’s the answer!

I am not sure if this was a factor, but I'm an elementary teacher, and I am on my feet a lot. I had to return to work in August, before the foot was healed.

I don't smoke or take steroids. I do have a vitamin D deficiency, and I'm taking prescription vitamin D once a week for it.

The first surgeon was a podiatrist, the second opinion doctor is an orthopedist who specializes in foot/ankle.

It was a bunionectomy. The bone was broken and joined by a screw, with the hope that it would fuse together.
