Surgery in 7 weeks
Hi everyone! I’ve never posted here before but bunions have been an issue in my life for years now. I’m 22F and already have arthritis build up especially in my left big toe joint. I’m scheduled for a bunion distal metaphyseal osteotomy on my left foot next month and I’m extremely nervous. We likely will operate on my right foot soon after the left one heals up enough, because both feet are problematic. My bunions have been progressively worsening over time and causing preexisting conditions to worsen. I have quite a bit of hyper-mobility, and my knees have been prone to subluxation way more frequently. Along with my right hip having a lot of pain as it tries to compensate for my feet and knees. I’m honestly just looking for some comfort/advice because I’m really nervous about surgery/recovery as I’ve never had surgery like this before. I added an image of my x-ray for reference.
