I'm scared to death to get this bunion surgery... Most likely going to get it next year. I was born with uneven legs (didn't even know that till recently!) that caused the bunion. But I'm really nervous to get it fixed and everytime I look up videos or try to get more information on the surgery I get so anxious.
I just had this surgery done 11/17/10. Full description on my insurance statement is called: Correction, Hallux valgus (bunion), with or without sesamoidectomy; with metatarsal osteotomy (eg, Mitchell, Chevron, or concentric type procedures)
Glad I did it! 30+years of pain! It was an out patient procedure very similar to what this video shows. First week is the hardest during recovery, pain pills worked. Weaned myself off pills in 10 days, started getting stomach cramps. 2 weeks left in boot
@hoghvn417 That's honestly a pretty typical course. Pain medications have some side effects, but once your through the first week, its often much better thereafter.
This video is so helpful to those people that life has been turned upside down after the surgeries. I had three. I then developed CRPS I am in stage three now and there is no cure for this and I just wanted to know if my first doctor did this to me. This takes so much off my mind.
@lestat1020101 Chronic pain can develop for a number of reasons, whether from surgery or not. I hope this video explains a little about the surgery itself, but it's hard to say anyone is "at fault" per se
is this the same oporation as the 'turf toe' oporation? becuase i am getting an operation on my foot for turf toe and i am not sure what the surgion is going to do

I have had pain in my sesemoids for a long time, i recently looked it up, and it looks like i have sesamoiditis, i have always had to wear wider shoes, but never thought anything of it, any suggestions?
@swissdude101 Sesamoids, typically, are on the plantar aspect (bottom) of your foot, while wider shoes are for medial bunion pain. That's not to say that wider shoes wouldn't help, but it would depend on your results.
I would have to ask, do your feet and sesamoid pain feel better in wider shoes?
Have you considered orthotics or different shoe types?
I really cant say, due to the fact that i have never bought shoes a few sizes larger because of my wide foot, but im pretty sure that its not my bunion, it could even be that my feet hate being squeezed, as other people are us to a slightly tigher fit.
@swissdude101 Well, in that case I would have to suggest, perhaps, getting a physician to examine your feet. It sounds like a biomechanics assessment could shed some light on your scenario.

@U2LedZep Hang in there! Surgery videos tend to make most people a little uneasy, when it comes to themselves.

I'm getting my sesamoid removed soon. They break all the time and won't heal.

@damodamon This is different than a turf toe repair. There are many capable Podiatric surgeons for that condition.

@khriskhaos2 Most of medical terminology is derived from Latin or Greek.
Unfortunately, it's difficult for just about everyone to translate (at first), so you're in good company

I agree, the voice and enunciation is almost unbearable.
Though the animation is first class.
