Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
hi my name is jason. i just recently went to a foot doctor to find out why i was in so much pain. he explained to me that i have bunions and hammer toes on each foot. he wanted to rush me into surgery that same day. because my feet are that bad. he asked me what i did for a living and i explained to him that i was a wood cutter, and that i did it for bout 25 years, getting up and down on big equipment alot in a single day. until i got hurt that made it so i couldnt work anymore. he said getting up and down and vibrations were main cause. what im asking is. is it worth or even smart to do both feet at same time. he did explain what he wanted to do. and said each foot would take between 4 to 6 hours. thanks for your advice
hi your doctor is right-you may undergo correction simulataneously.A non-weight bearing follow up for few days till healing occurs.You will be covered with medicines for pain,infection and it is safe
