Hi Pat, thanks for replying. When my ankle fusion was done the bones never completely "fused together" and is called a nonunion of the joint. I tried everything, anything the doctor said even using a bone stimulator. The doctor at that time used bone from my leg not my hip or a bone bank . Over the years my foot kinda curves in and looks really bad. About a month ago my heel started hurting constantly when I'm sitting, standing, sleeping it doesn't matter. Also I had to have brain surgery 2 years ago so it's been a journey.
It is challenging dealing with this and frustrating. Thanks, kshipley
