They might have told me the name...I forget it.
The main reason I'm willing to live with it is...it really doesn't bother me until I wear the wrong shoes or bump it while walking. (which is rare being on the inside of the foot)
About 5 years ago, I was hit by a car while biking, which led to intermedullary nailing, with a rod from hip to knee. 2 years ago, one of the effects of the accident was the discovery of two fractured vertebrae in my mid back.
The first surgery with the rod was a breeze....I was back to biking within a month. The back surgery is still lingering...but I can live with it. It's def better than pre-surgery.
So...I'm tired of surgery. At 70, I'm not in a hurry to fix something that I've had since my 20's.
