my hammertoe surgery
by: Deb on Mon, Mar 17 2008

I had hammertoe surgery on the second and third toes of my left foot, 3 weeks ago. My two toes didn’t even appear crooked, but my third toe was bending under my second one, some. I had continuous pain on the ball of my left foot for almost 2 years, and my right knee stayed sore, from carrying the extra weight. I’m a letter carrier and am on my feet lots at work. My procedure has gone well, as I’m overall generally healthy, at age 52. (knock on wood) I am looking forward to having the pins taken out in the next 2 or 3 weeks. I will then go back to work on light duty for a few weeks. I feel I have made the right decision, for long term relief. Good luck to anyone having this surgery.
