I'm Having Bunion Surgery?

March 12th, 2010

in about 5 weeks i will be having bunion surgey on my right foot. i am 15 and alil nervous about the pain afterward. i have read many questions and answers on here about bunion surgery and the pain involved but the answere vary so much. some say that the pain is nothing and others say it is excruciating. my mom had both of her feet done and also said it was insanly painful. i understand that ppl have different levels of pain tolerance but im still nervous. what type of pain sould i expect? my docter person said i might have to have a cast on mine and not just the special shoe thing. so how long do u think i will have to keep the cast on or the shoe for that matter just in case i dont have to have the cast? i know i forgot to ask something while writing this so any other information is greatly appriciated. thank you

Am I too young to have Bunion surgery and Flat Feet surgery?

March 11th, 2010

I'm 15 going on 16 in one month and I have developed Bunions on both of my feet(I know gross,but extremely painful) since I already have flat feet I managed to get it. But I am in sooo much pain because of my normal foot pain and now the bunion pain. My Orthopedic is trying different things for now but it's really not working,I'm starting to get back,knee,and stomach pains now. I don't know what to do.
Should I get the surgery? He says he will take about 6months to recover or a year because he would not only fix the bunion but he would also fix my flat feet.
AH! What should I do?

Has anyone tried those detox pads that claim to clean out your system and make you feel better and more relaxed and detoxify your body? Do they really work? I can't imagine the brown stuff on the pad they show being anything but dirt from the wearer's foot.
