Saddle bone deformity question

Probably a dorsal metatarsal-cuneiform exostosis
options:
1. Surgery
2. 'donut' pad under the tongue of shoe

 

Just had bilateral saddlebone deformity surgery......still not 24 hours post op yet. Had a difficult nights sleep and some pain which prevented a good nights sleep. Hoping for a speedy recovery. Doctor says 4 weeks. RICE -- Rest, Ice, Compress, Elevate!!!

 

....been 10 days now. No pain. Walking around more. Still elevate mostly. Dr. Zolfaghari hopes to have me in a sneaker at 3-4 weeks -- me too!

 

Hello, I have the saddle bone deformity on the top of both of my feet. I am 29 years old and have been very limited by the pain from the deformities for almost 2 years. I can only wear sneakers with orthodics, and no pressure on the tops of my feet. I have tried cortisone shots, orthodics, RICE etc and have had no improvement so I am assuming I need surgery for any relief. I am wondering how long you needed before you were able to go back to work, walk, drive, wear a sneaker, exercise again, etc? Thank you for any info/advice you can offer!!

 

I am a professional dancer and dance teacher. I had my surgery on July 16, 2016, and was back teaching the August 5, 2016. The 5 days after surgery were absolutely awful. Lots of pain, swelling, couldn’t walk. It was miserable. But, 4 years later I am still pain free. Best decision I made. Before surgery, I couldn’t wear a shoe. The pressure was too much on the top of my foot. I tried everything before we opted for surgery.
