Hammer, tape, splint.
Whiskey is an optional step one.
I have a huge arthritic growth on the top of my left foot which ive had since 8th grade. Ive been thinking about having it removed but the kicker is i loose the foot for almost 6 months.
If you've had it this long, you'll probably never have it removed.
I agree. Im a manual labor kind of person and need my feet.
Get the surgery done before you get old unless you are already old.
I am already old-ish
In that case you'll probably want a hammer with a really sharp chisel, a lot of antibiotic ointment, and daily wound care.
You will also need to not wear shoes or socks for a pretty significant amount of time.
Thats what the doc said he was going to do chisel and realign the metacarples or whatever they're called.
