Good luck with your foot problems. Sounds like you've got a good doc there. I've had an uphill battle here for a long time to get mine fixed.
The 4th MT in my left foot dropped about 10 years ago, probably related to the trauma from a previous accident. I've had unending pain with every step since then. It's almost impossible for me to walk barefoot on hard surfaces. (I love being barefoot) None of my recent orthopods wanted to take care of it. I now have a guy who is willing to not only fix this, but also the fibular misalignment on that leg from previous operations. So, I will eventually have them done at the same time. It was looking like right after my vacation in Mar-Apr but now I'm not so sure. It is so ultra conservative around here, I had to wait for a west coast dude to move here so I can get properly fixed up. What a shame...

awwwwwww! Good luck with your foot problem too. I can not imagine having foot pain all the time. You have made me realize I am fortunate and if I had to live with it the rest of my life I could but only cause I don't feel it all the time. Except she did say it would probably just get worse the older I got. So I don't know....... Please keep me up to date on what happens. I will keep my fingers crossed for you!

Brandi, my husband had surgery on his M.N. in January 2002. His was caused by walking about 40 city blocks in NYC in dress shoes! He would go into unbelievable spasms of pain out of the blue after that. He was down seriously about a week and his foot was numb for a few months, but it does go away. He was cycling by the first of March and did the cycling leg of the Tuckerman's Notch pentathalon in April.
Be careful that you have the right surgery. Some doctors do a partial type of operation. My neighbor's daughter had the less involved surgery and she still is in pain.
