Re: PVNS & ankle fusion

Rebecca:
I was told quite a few years ago to get an ankle fusion but hesitated and
asked my rheumy for an alternative. I wore AirCast braces for 4 years and
both ankles basically fused themselves and I walk quite well. I was so
worried about the fusion as it was prior to my knee replacements and I was
afraid I would not be able to arise from a chair, etc. Good luck. Jan O'

I have pvns in the ankle and arthritis of the talor navicular joint. I
have seen a surgeon here in London and wants to surgically remove the PVNS
and fuse the joint. I am worried I will be worse after the op. Any advice
or comments welcome!
