Dear Diane Marie,
I had bunion surgery on both feet in 1998. It is the best thing I have ever done for my feet! I have screws and pins, and am very seldom bothered by them.I can go barefoot at the beach without embarassment, and can walk for long distances without pain. I hope you have as much success as I have. I was put under general anesthesia for my procedure.
