      Same. It's annoying how many people think it's due to footwear. It's mostly genetic. The amount of doctors who also perpetuate the idea that it's due to footwear is pretty astounding given the evidence that it is largely due to genetics and flat feet etc which leads to bunions. A doctor in NYC I went to go see who has been doing surgery for decades straight up said it has nothing to do with wearing heels. If anything wearing flat shoes which allows for over pronation of your feet and puts stress on that joint is more problematic.

    • @_ladymarie277
      @_ladymarie277 5 місяців тому

    I had my first bunion surgery nine years ago. It was an ideal recovery, however, it was very long (just like he said.) I don't regret it at all because the bunion was causing me pain. I just had my second surgery 2.5 weeks ago. It's been a very different experience. Same procedure as the first one but my pain level has been minimal. I'd call it more of a discomfort. I haven't needed narcotic pain meds at all, just Tylenol occasionally. I attribute a lot of this to the fact that I am in better shape now. I began doing yoga and have benefited both mentally and physically. I know I still have a long road to full recovery, but I'm on my way!

      @@user-it2ld6ec1d I'm glad your husband has been supportive. My family has as well. I can't imagine what recovery would be like if they weren't. I think surgery is as much a mental thing as it is a physical thing which is why our moods are so greatly affected. My foot is still pretty swollen but I'm ready to start physical therapy and move on to the next phase. Stay strong and happy healing vibes!

    I'm 37. I've had a bunion for as long as i can remember. My mom had one as well. Same right foot. My dad gave me high arches on top of that. I just saw a foot doctor yesterday to ask about surgery as i haven't had much luck with using splints, toe spreaders to attempt to naturally correct it. I'm constantly on my feet all day, i wear wide work boots and insoles for my high arches. I really don't want to do a surgery to correct it but I'm about at my wits end with it. My balance is messed up because on both feet I'm basically standing on tripods with my high arches.

    @what_u_want8638 День тому

    Thank you SO much for this video. I have moderate bunions that are painful at times, and I found a doctor that does minimally invasive surgery, but he says he doesn't use screws or plates, only taping and splints. I am nervous about this because then, how does the bone hold up? I dont understand. He is very popular and was thinking about going to him, but this video made me rethink my decision. How can MIFS be done without screws? Im afraid i have more chances of the bunions coming bavk since they ate genetic, and I have somewhat of a flat foot. Any advice?

    I have a bunion on my right foot, I have been working in a factory building cars on an assembly line(temporary position) for two years . I’ve had a sore that won’t heal on my second toe due to the big toe pressing against it ( I’ve had the sore for about three months) I wear steel toed shoes at work. I don’t know how to get this sore to heal I have to keep a bandage on my second toe where the sore is. I have not seen a doctor yet due to I am starting this job as a Full time employee soon. I need some sort of temporary fix, what can I do? Thank You in advance (I also do not have diabetes)

    Been advised by my surgeon not to take NSAID's for pain e.g. ibuprofen because they interfere with bone healing.
    Also recommend surgery if possible during winter months, very frustrating if you are a gardener and can't enjoy the gardening and lovely weather!!!! Also, request 2 surgical boots!!! One only causes lop sided walking which causes musculoskeletal problems. I needed to wear surgical boots for 7 weeks. Ideally also a pair for indoors and outdoors so you don't mess up your floor/ carpets.I had right foot done 4 years ago and have just had left one done. Recovery much slower this time and swelling and bruising much worse. I am 28 days post op. Patience is definitely wearing thin !!!

  • @michellegoulart266

    I had lapidus done,two screws and was told I could do full weight bearing after two weeks. That turned out to be a non union and broken screw.. Second surgery done seven months later, plate, screws,and bone graft put in, NO weight bearing whatsoever for three and a half months. Absolutely horrible. Just had hardware removal surgery in September and everything seems to be good so far. I think walking after only two weeks was NOT good advice given to me per my second opinion podiatrist.

    Imagine being 34 and having foot/toe problems because of a stroke. That's my reality, I've had hammer toe correction with a bunionectomy (plate/fusion). Really that's my only problem that I have, the inability to walk is debilitating.. I couldn't walk pre surgery because my small toes were hammering 24/7 and my big toe was pointing almost straight up all the time and crossing the 2nd and 3rd toe, sometimes pushing down on them. Surgery has straightened my toes out and am 3 months post surgery, all pins removed and I have been walking primarily on my heel. I seem to have forgotten how to roll weight through my ankle/foot to walk normally.. it has been 2 years since I've actually walked normally so I'm wondering if my issue is more mental than physical at this point. My big toe has been really swollen and occasional soreness. I have like a mental block or anxiety when trying to put weight down on the middle/front of my affected foot. Would really like to be able to walk again when fully recovered. I have been seeing a specialist in podiatry but I know my underlying condition isn't at the foot, the foot problem is just a symptom, but is also debilitating. I miss life.

    I developed bunions on both feet at the same time as developing increasingly painful neuropathy. Do you think they were likely to have been as a result of the foot changes from neuropathy. I have a soft orthotic and wearing bunion shields for past week or so

    • @DrTomBiernacki

    I’m female and have bunions and have never worn heels or narrow shoes. My parents do not have bunions. I was never obese. The bunions started in my early 30s. It’s because of the crap diet I ate and am now paying for it in many ways. I’ve cleaned up my diet (a proper human diet now) and a lot of symptoms are gone (bunions no longer painful/throb) but I will get surgery to fix them because I don’t like the way my feet look.

      It is really crazy! I agree.
      Also, it is crazy how many and how high various fees, taxes, insurance payments, license fees, and other payments are required from doctors by the government, insurance, various organizations, pharmaceutical companies, and suppliers in the USA. Most of these fees and payments are not required from people working in other professions. Unfortunately, the ugly truth is, that doctors to stay in business have to pass these costs to patients.

      @@DrTomBiernacki no I disagree with this person. This video is incredibly helpful and thorough at the current speed. If someone wants to skip to a certain part, they are free to do so. Keep doing what you are doing and keep the “long” informative videos!

      I think your video was very well presented and helpful. Thank you. Especially, your advice about 'patience'...you're not kidding!!!!
      I've had bunions since a teenager, inherited from my mother. Always embarrased by my feet..sought orthopaedic advice years ago..advice 'leave unless painful.' I left them but severe deterioration in my late 60 's bursa, blood clot and skin break down necessitated emergency attention. Much harder coping with surgery when I was 60 plus than if I'd had attention in my late 30 's.
      R foot done 4 years ago and now 28 days post op having had L done aged 71!

    I don’t recommend this procedure. I had it done & shouldn’t have. My feet are totally messed up..
    I have a birth defect in my feet which has screwed the bone structure of my feet. My ankles are out of alignment even with a total foot reconstruction. I just had a bunion osteotomy & totally regret it. My foot is so out of alignment that it feels like I’m walking on the side of my ankle. If you can live with your foot problems, do it. Your feet will thank you.
