Has anyone had an ankle fusion? Was wondering how long it lasted. Mine is about 10 years now and I'm actually standing on the inside of my foot. I don't stand on the bottom of your foot anymore so needless to say an operation. Is being set up. I'm scared of the pain I'm gonna be in

I am having 3 bones fused in my ankle very soon. I am very nervous about this. Both of my feet have OA and RA damage and I am walking on the inside of my feet. Tremendous difficulty walking and using a walker, cane and a scooter. How did your surgery go? I hope you are doing well.

I have not had that particular foot surgery, but I've had 9-10 on my left and one on my right foot. The pain is.. Well, painful. Usually it is worth it when I get some good results from the surgery. I hate crutches though so told my podiatrist from now on I get a wheelchair. He is cool with that.
