Estoy en una lista de espera para una osteotomía de Weil o una resección de la cabeza del metatarso y corrección del plano, debido a dedos de los pies torcidos. Tengo otra cita antes de la cirugía, así que espero poder hacer más preguntas entonces. Me gustaría escuchar a personas que tal vez estén recuperándose de algo similar. Me han dicho que el período de recuperación es de 6 semanas, actualmente no trabajo, ni conduzco, así que eso no es un problema. Sin embargo, vivo solo y en una casa con escaleras, por lo que me preocupo por moverme.
La resección de la cabeza metatarsiana es un procedimiento irracional, defectuoso, brutalmente destructivo y poco exitoso, que a menudo conduce a discapacidad permanente.
La osteotomía de Weil tampoco es mucho mejor, ya que no comprende ni corrige la causa subyacente. Si me escribes de forma privada, te daré un enlace al lamentable índice de éxito de la osteotomía de Weil.
Gosh.... I find this quite frightening as I'm about to have
revised surgury of 1st MPT fusion and 2/3 weils osteotomy + 2nd toe correction after having a double bunionectomy and
hammer toe straightening last year that was not done properly
Haces mi punto por mí...
Me entristece escuchar esto....
Gracias, muy interesante, demuestra que tengo razón al estar preocupado. Me siento más preparado para mi próxima cita, cuando sepa exactamente qué se planea para mí. Guardaré su información para consultarla.
¡Ay, Dios mío, esto no es bueno, espero que esta vez las cosas vayan mejor!
Problem is jp you put your trust in those that younight k are the
professionals to know what it best and what isn't.
My feet are uncomfortable, big toes have drifted causing toes 2/3/4 to also drift, I also have a feeling as though I have pebbles
underneath my feet. I don't think I can carry on like this as it
affects my walking and the pain keeps me awake at night, so I
don't really see any alternative but to have more surgery.
Althought it will be with a different surgeon this time.
Sorry... was supposed to read "you think" are professionals.
Thank you.... same for you. Who'd have thought things could be
so complicated.
Entiendo tu dilema y la necesidad de confiar en alguien.
Mi queja es contra los cirujanos de pie y tobillo (y aquellos que pretenden ser cirujanos de pie y tobillo) que aplican (a menudo con arrogancia) técnicas que están mal pensadas y a menudo son diametralmente incorrectas.
En cuanto a la articulación metatarsofalángica del dedo gordo del pie, ahora estás comprometido con una revisión (ya que las superficies articulares han sido destruidas de forma irreversible).
Por favor, no dudes en referir a tu cirujano a mí. Si es educado, podría ser capaz de ayudar (no solo a ti, sino también a todos los demás).
Thank you.... My new surgeon feels that I had the wrong
procedure to start with.
My first surgery was done in a private hospital but paid for by
the NHS and I can honestly say I was very surprised at how little
attention I received after my operation.... No X-rays taken after my operation at the 2 dressing changes and none on release.
I always thought something was a miss, even after returning and
asking for an x-ray 2 months later I was told all was ok.
11 months after my operation I decided to see whether orthotics
might help and went to see a private Podiatrist.... long story
short she highly recommended I returned to my GP for a referal,
preferably not with the first surgeon.... she said Orthotics
wouldn't help and I needed to have more surgery....which I
thought was very honest of her as she could have charged me
top money for a product that would be of no benefit to me.
I have met the new surgeon.... NHS surgeon at a NHS hospital.
He asked for 5 sets of x-rays to be taken before we even spoke....and I could clearly see from these that my toes were so out of
line.This new surgeon was recommend to me by a consultant...
although not a foot specialists....of a friend.
Just to add as I'm not sure where you are from, I'm in the UK and things are done a little bit different here as regards to how
there are in the US. Really wish I had a copy of my x-rays but we
don't get offered a copy.
La anatomía y los problemas de los pies son universales, al igual que debería ser el tratamiento.
Sugiero que le pida al cirujano que explique (y tal vez escriba) los procedimientos previstos con mucha precisión.
La "Ley de Información Pública" le otorga el derecho a obtener copias de sus radiografías.
I do find it odd that there are so many different ways to treat
the same condition.... but each to their own.
I will pop into my GPs and ask if I can have a copy of my x-rays
I'd imagine it's quite easy to email them over.
Thanks once again.
Estoy siguiendo esto con gran interés. No tengo mucha confianza en mi cirujano, realmente espero que me expliquen las cosas adecuadamente. Simplemente parece que tenemos que aceptar lo que se decide por nosotros. Realmente necesito saber cómo serán las cosas después, ya que no tengo a nadie en casa que me ayude. Probablemente suene tonto, pero tengo osteoporosis y estoy preocupado por tener una caída cuando tenga que subir las escaleras.
Una vez más, lamento que las cosas hayan salido tan mal para ti. Solo demuestra que estas operaciones no siempre son una buena idea. Estoy pensando seriamente en no molestarme. En mi última cita me dijeron que tengo 3 opciones: insertos para zapatos, que ya he probado, una operación, o "simplemente aguantarlo". Puede que sea la tercera opción si no me siento más feliz con esto pronto.
Hay muchas formas de tratar solo porque esos exponentes no conocen una forma determinada de tratar. Cuantas más opciones, mayor confusión y mayor variedad de "tratamientos". Si hubiera certeza, solo habría un tratamiento.

Hi June....Thank you.
Having had a double bunionecotomy and 1st MT and 2nd toe
exterior tenotomy last year I do understand your concerns about
being on your own.
I take it that you don't have a downstairs toilet?
I have heard of people sitting on their backsides and taking their
time in going up/down the stairs.
In my case I had a husband and 2 ( 22/25 years ) children at
home, all worked and left the house before 7.30am and did not
return until after 7pm and even though I'd cooked and frozen
some meals they didn't last long. Equally all 3 were tired after a
day at work and although hubby grabbed bits and pieces along
the way to make meals things didn't always go to plan..... I'm a
stay at home mother so I guess they all thought the fairies saw
to most things... There was the packed lunches to do for the next
day which they mucked in and helped with and dishes were seento but things like general everyday housework, washing and
ironing were ailen to them and it drove me made seeing the
laundry basket overflowing as I knew it would be one job that
wouldn't get seen to. Consequently after 4 days rest it was down to me too see to it... washing was easy ironing on the other hand...well.
That was my own downfall they then of course thought I was ok
and left me to do everything....yes I should of protested...
So what I'm trying to say is if you can get some help even for the
first 24/48 hours you'll be ok....I've read of people who have been
on their own who sit on their backsides and take their time to go up/down the stairs. Cook a bit extra when making meals so that
you can freeze some... have books, tissues and things to keep
the boredom away.
Are you in the UK or US?
Have you a Facebook account as there is a very good group
called I survived a bunionecotomy.... really useful info from
people who know what you've been through.
Por favor, indíqueme la dirección del sitio web “I survived a bunionectomy”.
There isn't an address as such.....its a group on Facebook.
you have to have a Facebook account then you can request
to join.
Muchas gracias. Solo el título ("Sobreviví a una bunionectomía") es una condena de la profesión médica.
