This had a lot of useful information for me, since I am putting off bone spur/Achilles tendon surgery here with a podiatrist in the US and hoped to have it done after moving to Portugal. Thank you. I hope that your recovery continues to go well.
As someone who has experienced foot pain, I feel your pain. Too bad about the doctor in the desert who screwed up your foot. I contemplated having bunion surgery but I chose not to and decided to just buy shoes with bigger toe boxes. Hopefully, you’re on the road to recovery. Take care of yourself.
Wonderful news that all went well. I also had a botched bunion operation back in South Africa and will probably have to have another one here. My left big toe is now very skew and squashing my other toes. The bunion is now bigger than it ever was before.
Update on MGEN, my mom got pneumonia after being in PT for 7 months. The insurance will not cover a THING in regards to anything they deem a "serious illness" for the first 360 DAYS!!! Time to cancel this crap.
Nancy your article was interesting as usual. Would you mind sharing Dr, Vida’s phone number in Lisbon? I have a foot issue that needs to be looked at. Thank you.
Glad to hear all went well! What a timely post. We live in Olhão and are
on holiday for 6 weeks. Day 3 I took a spill and broke my left hand and right ankle (while in the US). Fortunately the first provider said they should heal without surgery, just with splints. But I will need to see an orthopedic doctor
when we get back. We have Medis insurance so will likely use Gambelas also.
I also have foot issues and have had previous surgery. I will need future one(s), as well. Can you share the Temple University Dr info you mentioned? I got MGEN insurance even though I'm 49 because they DO cover podiatry and Allianz doesn't! I'd love to know your costs, as I might be in the same boat eventually. I'm almost a year out of preexisting coverage. bootsonthegroundpt@gmail.com
Glad to hear that you are on the mend again and have your own personal live in nurse!
Good news !’
