Learn MoreI was born with bad bilateral bunions on both feet. It was very severe and caused my big toes to point towards my pinky toes. We are very good friends of Dr. Emily Bell Casey and she had seen me for the past 4 years about this issue. She monitored the growth plates and wanted to make sure they were closed before referring me for surgery.

About 10 years ago, an old, sports injury caught up with me. I played football in high school and broke my big toe on my right foot. Over the years, a bunion formed on that toe. The pain became so bad that I wasn’t able to sleep. I tried everything to make the pain go away: creams, hot baths, to compression socks. You name it, I tried it.

This past football season, we were on a 3rd and goal from the 1-yard line. I ran into the defender on the opposing team, and we rolled over each other. I hit my head into the defender’s chin but simultaneously remember feeling an extremely painful pop in my right ankle.
