SILLY Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Yes I had it done for a torn tendon and collapsed ligaments causing the arch in my foot to collapse. My hip is fine now it is only a small piece they take out only trouble is they damaged a nerve and I now have no feeling in the top of my thigh. This has not been a problem though it sort of feels like that numb feeling you get when an injection is wearing off after having a tooth out.

rosie Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I had this operation done in 2009 Sunblock.The operation went ok but it took a fair amount of time for the pain to ease off if I am honest.I get a bit of pain in my hip when it's cold or damp weather still and my foot isn't perfect but I am not in pain all the time as before the operation.Hope this helps and good luck.

I think that damaging my nerve might have stopped me feeling the pain in my hip when it's damp weather thankfully. My foot is not perfect either and I find it hard buying shoes to fit as my ankle and heel are still swollen. Boots and sandals are ok though. I had mine done 2007.

sunblock Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 Yeh he did say i could be numb after could be for every but might wear off that doesnt worry me its the pain after and obviously i will have some pain from the reconstruction of my foot just dont know what to expect or what a pot is like to have on 6 weeks i have a vision of me with crutches and falling flat on my face. This is one of two ops they can only do the back bit first then they will sort what looks like bunions out at a later date there not that i was born with them . He doesnt think my left foot needs doing at the moment though that could be a couple of years if at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said i might have a big boot after the pot is off then maybe some tiny inner soles in one shoe to make sure it stays up the bottom of my foot that is...what did you have yours done at? and what consultant?
