Good afternoon, Irina! I found your post and for a long time I also hesitate to remove the bones. Tell me, do the screws stay in the legs forever? Do your legs hurt or don’t react to the weather? And how long have you been wearing special shoes? Didn't you go outside? Thank you!
Hello. Have you decided to have surgery? I now have the same question that you asked here :)
Good afternoon, a week ago I had an operation to remove bones, if you are interested and relevant, I can share very fresh impressions)
please write to me your experience in removing the bone
Good afternoon Relevant! I would be grateful if you tell me!!) did you do it with a laser or not? Possible in PM)
As soon as I noticed that the lump on my big toe began to grow, I immediately went to the doctor. For me this was due to uncomfortable shoes and constant heels. I use traditional methods of treatment and always wear a sock for a bunion, Valgosox, until everything helps. I really don’t want to bring this matter to the point of surgery. Moreover, I read that after removal, after a couple of years, the lump forms again.
I read your story and correspondence with the girls, I wanted to clarify how you feel a year later? I’m very concerned about the issue of bones, but after reading your reviews first, I was inspired, but having come across other, negative ones, plus the experience of my friend’s father and mother, I’m still afraid. And you are a seasoned fighter.
I would be extremely grateful for your answer and thank you in advance for your time)))
everything is fine with the bones))) pah-pah-pah. I'm glad I had the surgery.
I plan to have surgery in the summer. Please tell me how long it took you to recover. What shoes are you wearing now? Don't your legs hurt?
I wore special shoes for a month. Now I wear shoes with low heels, flat soles and orthopedic insoles. my legs don't hurt
Hello Irina! Tell me, is two weeks enough for me to do everything about everything? Will I be able to drive to work two weeks after the operation? or is it individual? I still have doubts about the operation, all my relatives are discouraging me, the lumps do not bother me in terms of pain yet, only a year ago they ached for a week, I even woke up in pain at night. It’s inherited from my mother, I don’t want to experience her pain and torment. Just in case, I’m attaching a photo, what do you think: go into battle, or hold off for now?
for a couple of hours and very rarely
I'm just deciding about surgery
I don’t have any pain, I just don’t want my joints to start deforming again. I've seen women whose legs look like flippers at 40, and I don't want that.
Irina, why don’t they do the operation in the summer? and I was planning to do it in a week
In summer, all infections develop faster. If it's not too hot for you right now, then everything will be fine
Thank you, Irina! In what city did you have the operation?
I'm in Moscow, I live here))) in Central Clinical Hospital No. 1. but a friend of a friend of mine did it in Krasnodar (at first I was going to do it there and gave her all the contacts). she's doing well too
It’s hot here, but I thought about not going anywhere for a whole month, because I think it’s embarrassing to go out in such shoes)))) in Nizhny, after the operation, they immediately let you go home on the same day, and the orthopedist said that immediately after The surgery will go well. The surgery is very expensive, but I think it’s worth it, my legs won’t hurt and will look beautiful without bones. no complex and you can wear any open shoes! Irina, you probably have no trace left of the operation? I hear from many that the bones then grow back, I was upset at first, but my orthopedist said that there is a 100 percent guarantee that they will never grow back, I am very happy. I’m waiting until the blood for HIV is ready (5 days) and the operation. I’ll definitely post when I do it.
My orthopedist also said that there will be no relapse, but you need to wear the right shoes and be sure to get custom orthopedic insoles. Our operation is free, you pay for the screws that fix the joint. To be honest, I can’t imagine how you will get on right after the operation
I also think about how I’ll go right away, and they’ll let me go home right away, but my dad will meet me in the car. yeah, he also told me about the insoles, and said that in a month I could safely wear regular shoes. and with us one leg costs 34, and if you have 2 at once, then the discount is small, it comes out to 64 thousand.
I have 4 screws on two legs - 20,000. Plus we thanked the doctor for the operation, but this is solely our good will - no one said a word about any money. hang in there, the first night will be very painful for you. I was injected with a narcotic painkiller (in the hospital they give it to everyone after surgery), so I vomited. On the second day everything is much better. Ask your doctor, maybe he will write you a prescription for a strong painkiller for the first night. I went to the toilet myself the next morning. Did they tell you to buy self-fixing bandages? When did they say to come for the dressing? How many screws will they put in? On one leg everything was fine - where there is one screw, and on the second, where Z - fixation with bandages after the operation, they squeezed out the stagnant blood so that there would be no inflammatory process, I was also injected with an antibiotic for three days - again for inflammation. then wear shoes with a small heel or a small platform, do not walk barefoot, at home I wear Bickemberg shoes (flip-flops and clogs with orthopedic recesses), I put insoles in sneakers and sneakers, Ecco can be worn without insoles
Bunions in the modern world are a common problem for many women and even some men. This deformity can be caused by wearing narrow shoes with high heels or being overweight. Hallux valgus also occurs due to a hereditary predisposition, so people at risk need to take measures to prevent the appearance of bunions. Such measures include: special gymnastics, proper nutrition, wearing orthopedic shoes.
But when the disease has already begun to manifest itself, you can use braces for the bunions. In combination with other preventive measures, these remedies are very effective and help correct deformity in the initial stages of development, when irreversible changes in the joint have not yet occurred. Such fixatives can be purchased at a pharmacy or specialty store.
Manufacturers today offer many types of products for the correction of hallux valgus. Internet pages are full of aggressive advertising, and everyone says that their remedy is the most effective. But it is worth considering that bumps on the toes are a disease and when choosing a special corrector you need to consult a doctor, and not rely on beautiful customer reviews.
Here are several types of retainers that are available at most pharmacies or medical supply stores:
Each of the listed types has certain advantages and disadvantages, and such correctors must be selected individually, taking into account the characteristics of the development of the disease of a particular patient.
This orthopedic device consists of small partitions, which are often made of silicone. The septums are inserted between the big and second toes. They are almost invisible in shoes and help relieve discomfort when walking.
These rollers are suitable for long-term daily use (you can leave them on throughout the entire working day). Considering how much such a roller costs, these products can be classified as the most affordable fixatives. But they only help in the early stages of the disease, when there are no visible changes in the position of the thumb. The roller prevents the finger from taking an incorrect position, which is more suitable for prevention than for treatment.
Silicone foot protectors and pads are designed to correct the position of the foot while walking. They partially relieve the load on the foot and prevent calluses from rubbing. Protectors can have a corrugated surface, which normalizes blood circulation in the problem area.
A variation of these supports are toe separator pads and ridges, which ensure proper alignment of the forefoot and toes. Does a brace help fix a bunion? Regular use of such protectors really makes it possible to avoid serious manifestations of hallux valgus. But when the disease is already at a more advanced stage, then protectors can only alleviate the condition a little.
The fabric bandage is a fixator for the foot. It can cover the entire foot and ankle or only part of it. For example, a bandage in the form of an elastic fabric band is applied only to the forefoot, while a sock bandage covers the foot from the toes to the top of the ankle. Naturally, the price of the latter is much higher.
The sock bandage has a silicone protector over the entire foot and is great for daily wearing in shoes. This is a product for purely individual use, since it is strictly forbidden to wash it at high temperatures; this will ruin both the fabric of the sock and the tread material.
The bandage can be combined with other orthopedic devices: silicone ridges or interdigital separators. This combination allows you to position your foot and toes as correctly as possible while walking and avoid irreversible deformations.
An orthopedic brace for the correction of bunions can be used during the day or night. The most common lately are silicone retainers of a molded design. They have a gentle effect and deflect the thumb to the correct position. The presence of a pad between the first and second toes prevents them from crossing while walking.
The silicone bunion fixator is convenient for daily use and stops the development of the disease. Unlike plastic analogues, it can be worn up to 10 hours a day, and it is practically invisible. It does not interfere with walking in your favorite shoes (if they are of the correct shape) and at the same time protects inflamed tissues from friction and the appearance of calluses. Such a fixative can be part of complex therapy for conservative treatment in combination with anti-inflammatory drugs.
Daytime retainers are great for those who have just begun to develop the disease. They do not relieve the inflammatory process, but significantly alleviate the condition while walking. It will be especially useful for people in so-called standing professions. Currently, you can easily order them in an online store and still save money.
These remedies are effective even when hallux valgus deformity has already manifested itself at a certain angle of curvature of the joint and a protruding bone. The retainer splint is intended for night use, as the design is quite inconvenient to wear under shoes.
When first used, the adjustable big toe brace may cause discomfort and even pain in the joints. This is caused by the physical force that is applied to get the finger into the correct position. To minimize pain, the degree of deviation should be changed gradually. Such therapy may take a long time, but this method is much safer than surgery.
Reviews from doctors about orthopedic braces boil down to the fact that such products can be quite effective if they are selected individually. When choosing a fixative, the degree of development of the disease, the rate of its progression and the body’s response to conservative treatment are taken into account.
When the angle of deviation of the phalanx of the first toe is too large, the latch against cones on the feet is unlikely to help achieve its original position. Experts recommend not delaying the operation, which gives a chance for a faster recovery.
In order to wait until surgery, you need to consult a doctor when the first signs of the disease appear: discomfort when walking, painful sensations in the joint, redness of the skin, which indicates an inflammatory process. The best results in treatment can always be achieved at the initial stage of the disease.
Many have already used retainers for a protruding bone on the advice of a doctor or after reading recommendations on the Internet. Here are reviews of some of them:
The problem of a protruding bone has been bothering me for several years now, but I have not yet reached the doctor. I decided to deal with this problem myself and bought a bunion fixator at the pharmacy on the advice of a pharmacist. I've been using it for several months now and have seen little effect. Although it is much easier to walk with, the shoes do not cause discomfort.
Valeria, 34 years old:
I recently encountered hallux valgus deformity and immediately turned to a specialist. The doctor immediately sent me to take a picture, after which he made a diagnosis. He prescribed an anti-inflammatory ointment and advised me to buy a silicone corrector to stop the progression of the disease and relieve discomfort in the legs during exercise. I was immediately concerned about the question of where to buy a brace for a bunion? I chose a well-known online store with good reviews.
I started using the Hyperosteogeny magnetic patch about a month ago. There are 4 patches in one package. Very conveniently made, you can start using it without any extra effort. Each of them has a fairly long-lasting therapeutic effect and lasts for 24 hours. The patch itself is impregnated with a special agent. And the magnet enhances this effect several times.
Two packs were enough for me to achieve the expected result. Everything is working. Now I ordered another patch - such things should be available.

It only took 4 courses for the aching joint pain to go away. I still can’t believe it, to be honest. I applied the patches 2 at a time, on both knees. I wore it for 36 hours, as stated in the instructions - that’s all the treatment. They are not visible under clothes, they do not restrict movement, you can even swim with them, there is no irritation or prickly heat under them. But after the first course the pain became weaker, after the second it went away completely, after the third and fourth the crunch in my knees went away, I move freely. I don’t know how long this will last, personally, I’m ready to buy patches for prevention, just to feel healthy.
The first time I bought a tiger patch was when I was sitting at home with a sprain. Three patches were enough for me to completely relieve the pain, and I was even able to step on my injured leg. It turns out, a day and a half, that’s very fast, I know that. I go in for sports, sprains happen periodically and usually it takes longer to recover. When I discovered this, I bought several packs at once. I carry it with me to training, in case of bruises and dislocations.

I use Vitaplast patch to relieve neck pain. It copes well with this task; after you stick it on, you just have to wait a little, 10-15 minutes, and the pain gradually goes away. And within 24 hours the pain is gone and mobility is back. But I won’t call it therapeutic, it only relieves symptoms well, and without it the pain soon returns. They are prescribed to stick 4 patches in a row, supposedly this will help cure. The package contains 4 large plates. But complete healing does not occur, the pain-relieving effect just lasts longer, and after a week or two, everything returns to how it was. Nevertheless, I continue to buy them because it hurts.
Average rating: 4.50
For rheumatoid arthritis like mine, these patches are like grain to an elephant. They can’t cure you, even if you’re covered in them all over. But they make life easier because they dull pain. While I’m wearing them, I can move quite vigorously, my fingers bend like a healthy one. Without the patch I turn into a wreck again. But there’s nothing you can do about it, I have an advanced case and the medications are of no use, but the patch brings at least some relief. It’s a pity that it doesn’t last long, people wear it for 3 days, but for me it doesn’t last longer than a day, it dries out. Considering that one patch costs 100 rubles, and I glue two at a time.

Hello, friends! Today I want to tell you about a wonderful drug for the correction and treatment of painful bunions - Valgusstop cream (another name is “Bone”). Recently, my mother began to complain about an enlarged bunion on her big toe, which made it uncomfortable for her to wear regular shoes.
In the end I had to put all my beautiful shoes aside and go shopping in
looking for wide shoes without heels. All this was, of course, unpleasant, but when severe pain was added to the unaesthetic appearance of the feet and the inconvenience when walking, I realized that the situation was serious and sent my mother to the doctor.
The doctor examined the leg and diagnosed it as valgus. He also said that if the disease is not treated, it may lead to surgery. We decided to try Valgusstop cream. Of course, I rushed to buy this drug. Fortunately, it is sold online, so I didn’t have to run to pharmacies. This cream helped my mother a lot, and since I know that problems with bunions occur in almost 30% of the population, I decided to prepare a detailed review of this product for you.
The cream is sold in a cardboard box, which immediately attracts attention with its unusual design: it depicts a medical prescription form, where information about the drug is written in italics, as well as signatures and seals. Looks interesting and original! On the back of the box the composition and method of use of the product are stated, and inside there is a jar of the drug. Jar volume – 15 ml. It is made of white plastic and has a cylindrical shape. The neck is closed with a round screw-on cap.
Valgusstop cream is a preparation for external use. It has a yellowish color, which is explained by the presence of medical bile in the composition. The drug has a medium thick consistency and a pronounced aroma of essential oils.
The main active ingredients of the cream are:
The ingredients of Valgusstop cream work as follows:
Relieve pain;
This means that Valgusstop will help restore beauty and health to your feet and allow you to forget about pain.
The drug should be applied daily to clean and dry skin of the feet, rubbing until completely absorbed. In order to increase the effectiveness of the cream, it is recommended to use it in the evening after a relaxing foot bath.
Then the whole procedure looks like this:
After purchasing the cream, my mother immediately began treatment. She applied Valgusstop after a baking soda bath as described above. According to her, the cream is easy to apply and absorbs quickly without causing burning or other unpleasant sensations. The consumption of the product is small: a small jar was enough for a month’s course and there is even some left over.
Literally the next day after the first procedure, my mother felt significant relief, because the pain in the bone area became less acute. Then the effect of the cream was cumulative: every day the feet hurt less and less, and then they stopped bothering me completely.
The bone itself has also decreased in size and no longer sticks out much, so now mom can wear her regular shoes without any problems, although she is now trying to take care of her feet and put less strain on them. Thus, Valgusstop cream turned out to be a truly effective remedy for enlarged and painful toe bones. If you or your loved ones have similar problems, I recommend trying treatment with this drug.
Thank you for your attention! I hope this information was useful to you. Be healthy and beautiful and take care of your feet! You can buy Valgusstop cream in an inexpensive and trusted store using the button below. I'm looking forward to your feedback, friends!
