![]() ![]() Life was restricted for eight weeks but after coming out of surgical sandals I made steady progress and from three months could do anything I wanted and was back doing all my favourite activities but now pain free. Mr Gordon sets out a clear, detailed programme of exercises that I followed diligently. The couple of concerns I did have were quickly addressed on the phone and things went very smoothly. Post op recovery was so much better than I had anticipated. ![]() Surgery, done as a day patient both times, went very well. I had both feet, which included bunions, toes and corns operated on two weeks apart. I was very anxious but Mr Gordon listened to my concerns and was honest and reassuring in his answers. Having chosen to discuss my problem with Mr Gordon it soon became apparent I was in capable hands. So at sixty I nervously looked into surgery. You would not see me getting sand between my toes. I would avoid barefoot activities at all costs being embarrassed by my now very ugly feet. I had delayed help for so many years that not only were my bunions very large but I had developed bent toes and very painful corns. I was much too scared to take the plunge.Įventually it became impossible to find any footwear that was pain free, this impacted greatly on daily life. I tolerated this as I thought surgery would be painful, recovery slow and the outcome could result in restricted movement. For many years I managed to accommodate them in ever widening footwear to allow for an active lifestyle. I have had bunions for most of my adult life. ![]()
