I have it on both feet, I'm in my early stage of consulting w/the doctors hopefully I'll have it done in a few months. Are you in a lot of pain now?? Has your Dr mention that you will be able to put some weight on your foot. Please keep us posted on your progress. good luck

Hi Nikki4US
good luck to you on your 1st day of turning, let me know how do you feel while turning, any pain and also how is your bunion toe coming along. when you'll see your doctor on the 10th can you ask him what type of a procedure did you have done on a bunion. thank you
