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
