I had bunion surgery on both feet at the same time back in the early 1990s in Texas. I thought it would be better to have them done one at a time, so I could get around better. The podiatrist actually told me that it’s quite a painful recovery and if he just does one at a time, the patient usually doesn’t want to come back for the second one. He was right. They ended up cutting a wedge out of the 1st metatarsal and then putting 2 permanent screws from the 1st toe over to the next toe…on both feet…at the same time. I'm not going to lie, that wasn’t a lot of fun. Once they healed though, they did feel better for quite a while and it was nice being able to find shoes that fit a little better.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I personally avoid working on both feet at the same time. Fortunately in the years since, the procedures have improved and, generally the pain is much less.
@@DrAndrewSchneider I’m glad the procedures have improved. I hope the podiatrists up here in Fort Worth got the memo. 😉 It took a while, but I was eventually glad I went through with getting them repaired. Hobbling around with bunions on both feet in your early 30s was, not only painful, but a bit embarrassing. Thank you for sharing such interesting and informative videos.
I really have the sense of humor bro 🤣, next week I will be 3 months post surgery of my left 🦶🏾. Then now I'm very perplexed about if I am gonna do the right 🦶🏾 Its so much to deal with...
@@nikitagracias7267 it is a lot to deal with, you’re right. Down the road, you’ll be glad that you got them fixed. I just wish it wasn’t such a long road. I hope you’re doing well.
I live in southern california. I need to see a podiatrist. But I dont know who to see in california. Do you know of any foot doctors out here. I have pinkie bunions and as a hairdresser I've bought wide shoes, toe separators at night Ice baths, and I dont know what else to do. Or who to see. Do you know a dr here in southern california who can help. Thank you.
