The surgical fix is fast, painless, and cheap. Post operative discomfort for me (2 occasions) was almost nil, I was wearing shoes again the same afternoon with no discomfort, and did a normal day's work the next day with no discomfort.
The cure was complete, it's about 5 years for me now since the first one, and I suspect that I'm going to have to repeat the procedure again soon, once every 5 years for total relief is a very small inconvenience for a very great gain.
As
Re-Heat says, do it ASAP, you won't be sorry.
