Minimally invasive bunion surgery

[Anonymous]

I’m a teacher and the bunion on one foot is bothering me so much more now that I’m on my feet all day and wearing normal shoes again. I was wearing Birkenstocks until the weather changed.

Anyone try a Birkenstock clog?

Unfortunately for me, my bunion is so bad that I'm not qualified for the really quick recovery procedure (weight bearing in a couple days). But even if she did a more extensive surgery on me, it would be better than what doctors here have been telling me.

I'm holding off doing the surgery for a bit -- I'm finally an empty nester (yay!) and my pain isn't horrific yet. I wanted to do the consult so I could see how much down time I should plan for.

Unfortunately I'm out of town and can't remember the doctor's name. But I promise that I will post her info when I get home in a few days.

Also, I had my bunion shaved about a decade ago and I would never do that again. The incision has caused me so much pain.

Any chance you can recall NYC doc?? I know this is a LONG time ago...
