I have a foot condition known as hallux rigidus. I just call it a "tight toe". Over time, I've noticed it's actually getting worse. I've been told if I wait too long, I may end up with a joint fusion when I could have had a repair job. How do they decide when a joint like this is too far gone? 1 week 5 days ago 9
I am a semi-professional dancer with a few years left in me but my big toe on the left side is going. I've been told I have a degenerative joint called hallux rigidus. The only treatment is to cut out the damaged part and/or fuse the joint. I'm definitely NOT ready for that. Do you have any other suggestions? 1 week 5 days ago 11
It's amazing the kind of information you can get now about your health problems. I had an MRI done of my ankle after an injury and they sent me home with a CD of the images and a written report. It says I have an osteochondral lesion of the right talus. Can you please interpret what this means for me? 2 weeks 5 days ago 20
Can you help me sort out a problem I am having? I know I have a hole in the cartilage of my ankle bone from a hockey injury last year. We've been keeping an eye on it and hoping it might heal on its own. The fact that I'm young (20 years old) seems to be in my favor. But the latest MRI that was done showed a cyst was forming under the damaged cartilage. Is that good or bad? 2 weeks 5 days ago 16
I need help making a decision about something. I had a very experimental procedure done to help repair a hole in the talus bone of my ankle. I'm back to playing basketball competitively and don't want to do anything to mess things up. My surgeon wants to do a quick arthroscopic peek to look inside the joint and see how things look in there. Is there any other way to see what's going on without poking a needle in there? 2 weeks 5 days ago 22
