Dr. Reid:
Thanks for caring......I have had every kind of injection and even had a large bone spur removed from the arthritic joint below my original fusion. All to no avail. Since my original fusion was done ten years ago, my foot is plaqued with arthritis in all kinds of places. I am told that this will continue. I even suggested amputation at one point since it looks like I am on a long road of continual surgeries. An ankle replacement was not even talked about ten years ago; I was told they all failed and that fusion was my only option. However, I am told that the ankle fusion was done so greatly that an ankle replacement is still possible. I hope this is true.
