I had surgery 3 1/2 years ago and it was only partially successful. I could not walk accross the street before the surgery and I can now walk, but it is still painfull. What has helped a great deal is buying very padded and open shoes. I would suggest trying shoes first before having surgery. Foot Solutions in Spanish Springs carries Pluto shoes and Joya. The sandals have velcro and allows your foot to swell withiout binding. The Joya's are new and I have not had to add add'l padding. I can actually now wear a closed shoe - the Joya tennis shoe.
