I completely agree, and I always have checked everything out before continuing with ANY kind of treatment I have had before. This is why I wanted to post here - to get advice and opinions from other people with similar problems. And I have talked with my doc, and most likely will again with more questions. I just wanted to get outside opinions, as I stated. As far as "elective" surgery goes, I would not classify it as elective. When a person is subjected to pain every day and is unable to go up and down stairs without pain in the foot, and as a result the limping causes pain in my hip and lower back -- then I don't consider this elective. I can only look at it as a possible solution to the problem. Non-surgical treatments have not helped at all. My intention is not to sound hostile here towards you, Dr. Abrams, or towards anyone else. I am just trying to let everyone know how I feel and what has been tried and failed. I appreciate your taking time to reply to my post, and I think this forum is an asset to all web surfers looking for info and support.
