Has anyone had the operation for this where they break the toe and put a wire through,i am waiting to see a surgeon about it and my gp said it was a big operation so i am a bit worried as a 74 year old.
I would try anything first before surgery. That"s just my opinion.
Why do you need the operation? Does the wire stay in forever or is it removed after the toe heals? The main concern I'd have about any surgery at any age is the rate of post-op infection seems to be fairly high these days so I'd want to make sure your post-op care is going to be top notch.
Hi Molly,i have a stomach problem which stops me having strong painkillers and i have always been a keen walker but too much pain to do this now but would like to get back to it.
Very painful and stops me walking now..Not sure about the wire but will ask a lot of questions when i see the surgeon..
All the best. Do keep us posted how things go!
me too molly don't hear many good results
