FYfeet I

So I have been plagued with physically unpleasant feet for 15 plus years now. My problem stemmed from wearing shoes that was just "a little" too tight and the result ended up being hammer toe and corns. I've been on line for years looking for corn removal alternatives, I've used all types of home remedies and Dr. Scholls products with no luck. So now I'm at my last resort and will be having surgery tomorrow. I'm posting this blog because the web has been very informative and I appreciate all the info I've received, so I've decided to pay it forward.

So with that being said let me share with you my experiences. I first started trying to have surgery and was told by doctors that it was cosmetic and the price was 600 per toe. I was tempted to go that route and went to one last podiatrist that advised me that if they are painful the surgery is covered by my insurance. Which is great for me. Now for the differences, cosmetic surgery is done in a way that would minimize scarring and regular removal is done to stop the pain, scarring is not a concern. So this is definitely my biggest concern.

Now my doctor hasn't been too comforting either, and from what I've read on line no podiatrist is. It seems that there are so many variables that can occur due to different skin types that they make no promises. My skin usually heals well so I'm not too concerned but you won't ever know will you.

Its 9pm now and I can't eat or drink after midnight and my surgery is at noon. I'm would like to share my before picture and will be giving you guys info as soon as I can.

I will keep you updated about the pain, medication, time frames and everything that I couldn't find the answers to.

Here is what my feet look like now.

My right foot is having hammertoe surgery on the second, third and fifth toe and the left foot is having surgery on the second and fifth...also the doctor will not be removing the one on the right foot upper second toe...:(

so we'll see!!!

Will post more photos after surgery. Wish me luck!!!
