It's not great. The joint in my foot is in the process of fusing. Thanks to the new inserts my arch has stabilized, but that's led to more stress on the rest of my foot (and all of the other little joints in it). So it's leading to a chain reaction in my foot.
Good news is that my surgeon is excellent and compassionate and doesn't want to do surgery until it's nessacary. He believes that one surgery would lead to another and he wants to put that off as long as possible. Although my foot hurts when I do a lot, in my regular day to day it doesn't bother me much at all.
His plan is to do regular X-rays, and too keep an eye on it for another year or so. And to do injections when it starts to hurt, and to plan surgery after that.
It sucks it really does. Some days I can't help but want to cry, it just doesn't seem fair that I have to deal with all this.
Thank goodness for the horses I don't know what I would do without them to distract me.
