this is my story

hi all this is my story. In 2009 I saw bumps on both of my feet, so I went to my primary doctor to see what they are BC they hurt, and I showed him he didn't know, so he made me appointment with an orto well they didn't take my insurance so I called my doctor so I got another appointment with a podiatrist he looked at my feet and said well just live with it and take Advil if it hurts, no thanks. So found another podiatrist, he said he couldn't help me. Now I'm fed up so I found another podiatrist this one I really like he wrapped my foot and I got a brace but none of them helped I did physical therapy as well that didn't help either.so he said surgery he said that in 2011, I kept putting it off until 2011. That's when I was exercising and I heard a pop in my foot and I went down, so I went to the podiatrist again he put me in a walking boot for 2 weeks and that sent work so by then I was in so much pain so in October I scheduled my surgery a and November 9th I had it. Next Wednesday will be 2 months and I'll be able to walk well I am hoping. The recovery has been going really well I cannot complain well I guess I can its a little boring,just say my bf and I haven't been on a date since October I'm ready to get out this house and I am making sure we are getting out next weekend ..

This is what I got done on my feet-
Gasrrocnemius Recession (intramuscular approach)
kinder Procedure , lateral column lengthening (Evans osteotomy) titanium wedge put in. And heel spur shaved down.

Thank you so much for sharing your story Erin! What did they say the bumps on your feet were? That stinks you had to go through so many doctors before finding one that you liked. I was very fortunate that my cousin had seen my surgeon and had surgery that worked out great.

I totally feel your pain about being stuck in the house. It gets so frustrating being cooped up. It feels good to get yourself prettied up and out of the house.

Take it easy and keep in touch!

Wow! That's a lot of doctors to see. I went through two... I second Kimberly... Did you find out what the bumps were?

It is called accessory ossicles doctor said I was born with it.

Are they like bone tissue or something that is soft tissue?

Nope its a bone I have it on both feet.

Wow! I sure hope you don't have to go through this again with the other foot.

Doctor told me if it doesn't bother me then let's not do it. So I'm holding off until it bothers me.

Well that's good that you don't have to do anything with it now. Pray it stays the way it is and doesn't bother you.

Me too I don't want to go through this again..
