Hello there Just to introduce myself i am 26 from uk. Worcestershire called Hayley. I was diagnosed with osteo arthritis just over two yrs ago now. I HAVE always been battling with congenital Flat foot since birth with pain on going and getting worst over time with age and ware and tare. In march 2009 i was diagnosed with o/a and asserory Navicular in each foot. Which when i was little was never picked up by the pherodist (sorry about spelling) so in march 2010 i had my first foot surgery done to remove the first EXTra bone in my right foot which was Painful and was around 3 months plus recovery. Then December 2010 had my left foot same done. But i continued to get worst and it didnt releve any pain but made my Flat feet worst. So in June 2011 i had a Subtular fusion. Which did not fuse and after many many months in plaster and a walking brace boot there was Nothing else which could be done. So one month ago may 1st 2012 they done a triple Arthrodesis i now have five large screws in left foot and currently none weight baring on crutches/wheel chair in a plaster. The recovery is 18 months in total. But hopefully worth it. I gotta have my other foot done late next year after my wedding. Any input or help i would appreciate. Thankyou for reading. Xxx Hayley
