Bunions On Both Feet, Throbbing Pain. History Of Having Cortisone Shots. Time For Surgery?
Hi - I'm a dancer- have developed bunions on both feet but the left is far worse - I have had cortisone shots successfully over the last 2 years but I have trouble putting on my shoes & lots of pain after dancing & sometimes it throbs all night long. I believe it is time for surgery but I am really scared & also want to be back on my feet as soon as possible - Can I have both done at ones? I need a great surgeon who can help these dancing feet!!

Hello,
Thanks for writing to us
As your bunions not get controlled from conservative management and you have still pain, I suggest you to go for surgery. Do not worry after surgery, you would be back on your feet soon. Surgery can be done on both side in one sitting.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
