My feet no longer seem fit for purpose. Is the pain of surgery worth the gain?

Hi. If bunions not too bad but painful, try homeopathic Siica. Take exactly as it says on instructions. I first tried this for what was possibly gout in second toe...excruciating! I also have inherited bunion joint but managed to stop it from turning in too much by wearing Birkenstock toe post sandles.
It occasionally is still a bit sore so take silica for few days. Sorted.

Am having bunion sugery in a few weeks, big toe and next 2 toes straightened.
Am happy to report my experience...will give me something to do in recovery time, I am normally such an active person. Wish me luck!

Perhaps start a new thread when you’re ready to report, HillyB The OP is from 2011, so a lot of GN’s might not bother with it.
