Suppose to have surgery on thursday but having second thoughts. They want to remove all the hardware that went in after my foot was crushed and then fuse the bones together. I can bend my foot now, walk and even run. Somedays 10mins of walking hurts somedays its 2-3 games of basketball. I dont know if I want to go through with it if I no longer at least get somedays to do these things. If fusing the bones means that the movements to do these activities, no longer exists, I hardly see where the benefit is. I was told my life would be forever changed and I have accepted this, I know that walking or being active means that I may not be able to walk the next day but I can still do them and just suffer the consequences. Anyone had bones fused together? How is your movement at the joint?
