My mother's feet began to turn inside out from RA and her orthopedic did a fusion of her left foot which was painful and she could not put weight on it for 4 months. She was totally down as with the RA she couldn't use crutches often so it was horrible time for her. It only worked for a year or so and then foot started turning again. I won't recommend any foot surgery.

The orthopedic surgeon that fixed my feet actually rebuilt them. He used bone grafts from my hip and titanium help my feet, repaired tendons and joints. Long surgeries and long recovery but it turned out very well. I have almost complete motion in both feet and little pain.

Thanks. I have done a lot of research and talked to a few who had it done. I have decided it can't happen. I live alone and would not be able to drive or anything for 12+ weeks! Not happening!
