I had a double left foot fusion in November 2023. Best thing I ever done. I was in so much pain. Didn't know it was a double until after I had it done. Thought I was only off work for 6 weeks, but it turned out yo be 3 months. Mostly not able to weight bear either. Now over a year later, it's like I never had it done. Suffered pain for so long. If you get offered surgery take it. Omg new lease of life. Now my right foot is starting to pain under my toes at bottom of foot. May have to pay a visit to the doctors soon amitriptyline is not touching it.
