large bunion deformity
A year ago I had a discectomy this was because when I walked my right foot was slapping only it went totally opposite and now I have no control what so ever.I have tried different splints but due to me having a bunion which as progressed very quickly I have not been able to wear.The problem now is after being seen by a consultant to have a tendon transfer I was told that until I wear a splint this operation won't happen.in the meantime the bunion developed a cut and became bigger so after turning to my gp and asking for help she got me an appointment with a podiatrist who now says he,s not prepared to do bunion surgery without the consultants say so due to the fact that I would need complete rest and my muscles won't be used and so there's a chance I may not walk again.My big toe as pushed inwards causing my foot to swing out and until my foot is straight I can't have the tendon transfer.I am now stuck as to where to go next I am so depressed and won't go out because I trip up and fall.Please could you give me any advice what I can do.
