hi well getting it done would free you of that pain but recovery is about 6 months but you do need to get out and get walking its the only way to get back to your life had both of mine done a almost a year ago tell you this would not go back to the way i was it frees you of painful walking. you will need to spend time in some funny looking sandals and this will make you walk in short steps but its well worth it. but you must get out get out and use your feet its the only way you will ever get really better it is painful but just fight the pain. i'm 68 and walk my dogs each day when i had mine done there was two dogs ok i did not go far but each day we went slowly further it was the only way for me to get better. hope this helps you. good luck
