No but my doctor said he only wants to do that in older people cause it would involve fusing my ankles and I have type two

I had foot reconstruction surgery when I was about 13 and then again when I was about 14. If I didn't get the surgery I would not have been able to walk by the time I turned 18. The surgery helped immensely! I sometimes have troubles with the high altitude and cold weather as I just recently moved to the mountains. But I have the option to get the hardware removed. I was so scared at first but I am so happy I was able to get the surgery. The only down fall is you are not allowed to put any pressure on your foot for about 6 weeks, but that might have been just me since I had tendons moved and bone removed. It hurt so bad when I had accidentally fallen on it, but no damage was done. Overall 10/10. I am so grateful for my surgeries

Hey, oh I get it. I live in a home with stairs 😥😢 it’s a struggle when I 1st moved it I said oh it’s okay it will be good exercise but yea right it’s dreadful. My kitchen and laundry downstairs I spend a lot of time in my room in bed I try to walk around my room and I have a indoor bike. But I’m not motivated. Pain sucks. Going down the stairs is scary. Up is just painful on my legs and feet. I’ve done zero surgeries, I’m actually avoiding it. And no way I could now with this home I’m in.
@Krsjr :( I’m so sorry
