Bobbers Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 I wish you a full and speedy recovery.

We had a golf day trip scheduled for the afternoon I was prescribed it. Since I felt better with it, I decided to go anyway. Right foot and right handed golfer. I had no expectations other than to have a good time. The rounded sole on the boot really allowed me to shift the weight to mt heel in the back swing and toe during the through swing. I dominated everyone that day and played well with it for the entire time I wore it. Although after the first day it did cause soreness in the shin from the straps. Some of the guys would jokingly complain that I was using a training aid on the course. However, it only worked well on even lies. Uneven ground was simply dangerous. I too hope the surgery solves your issues. cnosil 1 Quote A.I.

hohjoe Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 I had that surgery six years ago. My joint was gone and I had bone-on-bone, so I had the toe fused. I can't bend the big toe, but I don't notice that. And the pain is gone. It worked out great for me. I had a titanium joint inserted in my left big toe, it wasn't' as bad as the right, though it bothers me every once in a while. If I were to do that over I'd have that toe fused. Do you have kids? The toe thing is hereditary. My daughter has had surgery on her right foot a couple of years ago, and is currently in a boot on her left foot due to the same surgery, she blames dad of course. cnosil 1 Quote Driver: TaylorMade Stealth 2 Fairway Woods: TaylorMade Stealth 2 5&7 Hybrids: PXG Gen 5 0311 22 Moon Wood 8 Irons: TaylorMade Stealth HD Wedges: TaylorMade Milled Grind 3 56° & 60° Putter: Cleveland Soft Milled 5 BatCaddy X8R Link to comment

Donn lost in San Diego Posted March 5 Author Share Posted March 5 So here I am Monday March 4. 5 days post surgery. Been very strict follow doc orders, keep it elevated higher than my heart as much as possible 3 , 4, days. Move around as little as possible. Even on crutches, you are still moving the muscles so just stay put a lot. Pain subsided rapidly, i didnt ice it, used oxycontin only 2 days. Watch golf on TV. Watch a lot of people die in Yellowstone, I never watched any of it before. Makes Dallas look tame.

Bob Jerabek Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Sorry for your troubles. I feel for you. Three years ago I had my left foot fused. I couldn’t walk to the mailbox. Anyway now I am recovering from a toe amputation on left foot. So I can only count to 19. I would ask you Dr. for orthotic inserts for your shoes it will make the world of difference. Get well soon.

I was unaware there even is such. But you say the fuse work better than the ti insert? Yep, a fusion on the right and an insert on the left. My doc didn't offer me a joint replacement on the right toe because the joint had been eroded beyond anything but a fusion. Every once in awhile my left toe bothers me, but not often. I think the replacement joint was a huge success. But, having said that if I were to do it over I'd probably have the left toe fused also. I've had zero issues with the fusion.

Donn lost in San Diego Posted March 9 Author Share Posted March 9 Friday night, March 8, now 9 days after surgery. Keeping the foot elevated. Learning to get around on crutches. Nuff said. No pain thankfully after 3 days, only fell once, the first time I tried going up a doorway 1 step up. I see the doc next Monday and can start putting a little weight on it, if all goes per plan. Watching the Arnold, and, first time ever, Season 1 and now Season 5 of Yellowstone. It is nice to see Wil Zalalalalatoris in good health. And watching the girls live from China in the dead of night here in Calif. A couple of long hole-outs yesterday. Huge greens with tsunami size waves.

Donn lost in San Diego Posted March 12 Author Share Posted March 12 Hi brothers and sisters. The cast came off today, stitches out, and I have a big big hi impact plastic boot with 3 inch wide straps, and I can walk. Inside, there is a metal plate across the top, sort of a figure 8 shape, 4 or 5 screws vertical holding it, and somehow a horizontal screw almost the full length of the plate. I don't need a cane, walker, or crutch. One more week and I can wash it. And gradually put more weight on the front of the foot. If I really wanted to I could already work on my putting. but I can wait til the rest of the bandage wraps come off, I am thrilled.

Donn lost in San Diego Posted March 15 Author Share Posted March 15 Now it is Thursday night, the cast came off Monday. I am gradually putting more weight on the front of the foot. I can walk pretty easily with the big boot, slowly, since I can't move ankle much. Four weeks of this. I can't drive, I hope to go work on my putting soon. The biggest issue is boredom, since I am single, retired. Bored with LIV v TOUR, Trump v Biden, Single malt v blend, Ford v Ferrari, Eat This Not That (A dreadful food blog). I've watched all the free episodes of Yellowstone and won't pay CBS a nickel for anything. And now that Scheffler has learned how to putt we might have a 5 or 6 time winner this year.

Donn lost in San Diego Posted April 9 Author Share Posted April 9 (edited) SUCCESS! The boot came off yesterday, April 8, the doctor said I can resume golf. Six weeks after surgery. It is still stiffer than normal, there is still mild pain with pressure on the front of the foot. But I started taking normal swings. I plan to hit 20 or 30 balls the first few days and work up to my normal range day of a medium bucket, and some time working on chipping and pitching. If I can figure out how, I will try to post the x-rays that show the plate, the 1 longitudinal screw about 1.25 inches long, front to rear, and 3 small vertical screws through the plate in each of the 2 bones being fused. And he took a small piece of bone from the heel, where the bone is a fast re-growing property, and put it in between the 2 toe bones, where the cartilage used to be. I am amazed, six weeks!

Timothy R. Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 I hope that your recovery goes well. I know that it can be tiresome having to wear a boot for any length of time. For those of us who end up with foot issues just as we hit the wonder years (i.e., retirement), good orthotics can be a godsend. I've added these carbon fiber inserts to the mix with really good results. They stiffen whatever shoe you're wearing and help reduce the stress on your foot joints. I've used them over the past 10-15 years and they were well worth the investment -- about the price of a new wedge. Perhaps they would make for a good product to test by MyGolfSpy members. https://rtpfast.com/ Quote Ping G425 LST Driver / 9º / Aerotech Ti-Fiber Tour 70 Shaft Ping G425 MAX 3 Wood / 14½º / Aerotech Ti-Fiber Tour 70 Shaft Ping G425 MAX 5 Wood / 17½º / Aerotech Ti-Fiber Tour 70 Shaft Ping Karsten IIIa Irons, 3-SW / Aerotech SteelFiber i125cw Shafts Bobby Grace / The Fat Lady Swings Putter Link to comment

Donn lost in San Diego Posted May 1 Author Share Posted May 1 Thanks to all for support. I lost 2 weeks with a recur of shoulder pain, but am on the schedule to play 1st round on May 3, 9 weeks after SUCCESSFUL toe fusion. I didn't do any exercise during the 6 weeks post surgery, then jumped back into weights too strongly at first, thus lost 2 weeks with mild shoulder pain. The toe still hurts when I walk on paved surface, at the cut site, not the joint, it is still healing, and I am happy as a Monday qualifier.
