After dealing with pain from a "botched" ankle surgery for 21 years, I had my ankle fused in May at Andrews Sports Medicine in Birmingham by Dr. Norman Waldrop. It was the best decision that I have ever made. I can definitely say that I am pain free and loving it. It has not affected the shoes that I can wear. Before the surgery, the only thing comfortable was something with a heel. I can wear flats again, now, as well as my heels. My issue is that all these other aches and pains that I had attributed to the ankle, are still here and rearing their ugly heads. I am looking for suggestions for tennis shoes, though, as before the surgery I couldn't find any that I could comfortably wear, at least not for any length of time.
