podiatrist vs orthopedic surgeon
I have been to both a podiatrist and an orthopedic surgeon. Both say that surgery is required for my bunions and that both feet should be done at the same time. The podiatrist claims new procedures and smaller instruments to lesson discomfort. The surgeon says pain killers,bone breaking and chiseling are the answer. Any comments or suggestions would be much appreciated.
