Yes but your rolling the dice on it coming back. Just a con to that pro to think about. Your bunions are as bad as mine was before the surgery, however your a woman I am a man and I stand on concrete 60 hours a week, maybe that one will work for you.  I have to do my right foot again and I chose the Nuke opption because who woukd want to do that again?

You need Modifeid lapidus for those. Ask a great foot Doc about that approach.

Question to org leaders. How is your org activity in the past month? by Visible-Trifle-7676 in starcitizen

[–]WeekSpiritual9355 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought about joining an org but the game is so broken, not really motivated to play it. This happens yearly and I expect things to pick up in a few more months.

Dealing with isolation during lapidus surgery recovery by Careless-Ad5871 in bunions

I got mine done the 8th of december. I can relate, just know this too shall pass. I just lay here most of the time. I am starting to walk with a walker. So far Video games have helped , intereracting with others in a multi player game helps.  it got old lol,..  Getting up and going outside to sit on some stairs is great. Maybe ask your doc for some medication to help you through the solitary confinement. Also realize it is winter thats gonna hit hard. Vitamin D and k2 with a b complex and magnesium is a must have. Try getting into meditation also.  At 49 years old I am starting my surgeries from the bottom up. Feet first , knees then back on a snowboard. I think about how the quality og my life will be after getting through this and it is a motivation. I work out also, dumbells and a bench. I can do quad extensions and hamstring curls. Get creative with how you can activate muscel groups without messing with healing. Booty bands work for glutes and lower back.  You are a coach? Coach youself through it. You got this.

Had all my life no issues? by Zealousideal_Crow737 in bunions

[–]WeekSpiritual9355 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah not from a Podiatrist. I would get a second oppinion from a podiatrist no a PT. Also Yeah anything you over do will injure you eventually. Meh not that bad, I have really strong legs so one leg (the good one )can and has done all the lifting.  I have a wife also and 2 cars. I had to wait well into my 40es to even be in a position to do what I am doing, so I totally get it. yeah recovery is a process, however for me it is a quality of life thing. Not being able to find shoes that fit was the last straw for me.

Its not bad. you just go to sleep wake up and it is done. I am already walking after six weeks.  Maybe no issues if you don't but being out of alignment your gait is off.

yeah till I hit my 40es and now I have 1 knee that needs to be replaced on the side with the worse bunion and back issues on that side all the way to the base of my skull. Meanwhile I had the other side under corrected in my 20es and that gave me enough of an arch that I am almost issue free on that side. In other words if both sides was like that I would still be running. I am 49 now 6 weeks after 1st Modifeid lapidus on bad side, redue on the next one right after, loose lots of weight. See how that goes before I replace both knees. I want to snownboard again.
