is this an alternative to surgery for a bone spur on the hallux toe? any information given would be helpful, I am trying to avoid surgery, I have flexion but limited to non extension in that toe, I broke it a year ago, and have a small spur, plus it is throwing my gait off because I am trying to over compensate to avoid too much pain, it only hurts when pressure is apply- I cant wear heels, and inflammation will set up in it. Thank you for your feed back. I live in Michigan
Hi I did the surgery almost 5 weeks ago in The Netherlands, the movies you see on youtube are worse than my surgery did look like (yes i am nuts, I saw someone cut in my foot). The first week will be painfull after this week you will feel better.
After 4 weeks I can do almost everything with crutches (sticks to support me walking, google translated the dutch word, hope I choosed the right one).
My advise, go to a doctor and ask him/her what's best.
@tlife35 once you have an obvious formed bunion, the only way you can correct it is with surgery.
I am going in to have both feet done in 2 weeks time in London. I have asked many surgical consultants, GPs and podiatrists and ALL say that you can not correct a bunion yourself.
You can make life easier with wider fitting shoes, shoe inserts etc, but that will not correct the overall issue.
cool, i have to buy it for my grandma...
