Bunions

[Otessa]

Are nurses pre-disposed of this or am I just lucky?

Not looking for medical advice, just wondering about the prevalence among nurses...

Just an FYI, I have never met anyone who has had a positive experience from a bunion surgery and neither has my mother. My mother has worked for various doctors over the years herself. My mom is almost 60 and I'm 37.

In fact, my GF's lowlife stepdad had bunion surgery last year and he regrets it to this day. More pain than before. Do your homework if you ever consider surgery. I suppose some people have good stories, but I doubt too many are with podiatrists. Sorry, I would go with a orthopedist or nothing, even though I've been around some bad orthos.

I had bunion surgery at 19 and the outcome was fantastic. Before it I was in extreme pain, couldn't touch my foot at all, could barely wear shoes at the end. I had to stop playing soccer. Since the surgery the only reminder of the experience is the ugly scar! Great decision and great outcome.
