Well I had my bunion surgery on Thursday and they did eventually agree to do general anaestetic. however before the op the surgeon came to see me and said that I needed all toes except big toe fused. I agreed this/
came out of anaestetic well so came home same day. I have metall pins sticking out of the 4 fused toes.
the pain is terrible so on top of all other ailments the pain combined is driving me mad. I am sure it will all be
worth it also the bunion surgery is also very painfull and it is so difficult to walk on crutches. I always walk with a stick.
hugs to you all

I hope the foot pain gets to a bearable level soon for you. I know what it means when you get another pain on top of the usual pains, it seems to increase all the pain levels and it is very hard to deal with.
You have all my sympathies and i do hope your doctor will give you something a bit more useful for the pain, if not demand something as it is what he is there for to look after your welfare.
I think I had better stop or I will be getting on my high horse and start ranting.
Glad that you have got that surgery over and done with. My friend had a similar operation and she said it was extremely painful but when she had the pins out and could walk normally she said it was all worthwhile. Hope you keep on making good progress. Your have been very bravex
I had bunion surgery. The pain was awful for a week, then much better suddenly. Hold onto that hope. Find lots of distracting things- I watched lots of DVDs to distract me! Take care.
