mmr I have had multiple foot surgeries and the latest being a bunionectomy and fusion of three toes. This fusion has been done three times and we still do not know if it is working or not. I have had other mutliple surgeries that have been done some years earlier on the other foot that seem to have collapsed. Probably 7 or so surgeries. I had all of them done except the last one that messed up by the same doc. The doc that did all earlier ones died a couple years earlier in a tragic accident. I want to see how this is going to progress and then I want an overall evaluation by the best orthopaedist in our area. I am so tired of dealing with feet. I suffer with chronic hallux rigidus also, my mother had surgery on all her toes, so did my 2 brothers. I have had the hammertoe corrections and all. pretty bad. I just want a really really thorough evaluation and titchou seems to have a good ideal. I did try to see Dr. Vail at Duke, titchou b/c he was by moms doc and also Coach K';s of Duke's Doc. I thought if he was Coach K's doc he must be the best in the world. Tough luck for me though, he has moved to California. Coach K. may very well can afford to travel to CA to see him, no me though. lol I assume you know Coach K. is the Duke Basketball Coach. Thanks for the idea. I wonder about calling and finding out who the Hurricane's Hockey Doctor is since their homecourt is in Raleigh.
