Bunion Revision

It's been 10 years since I had my original bunionectomy and bunionettectomy and I actually just assumed that since I was only 30 at the time that this was normal, but now the more I read I guess maybe not. My left foot is still okay, only a slight bunion, but the right drives me crazy. Throbs after going for walks, can't wear pretty shoes cause they hurt too much and it's actually worse than the first time because my big toe actually overlaps the second toe a little. My original surgeon no longer does surgery, but perhaps that's for the best. I have an appointment with another podiatrist on Friday morning and hoping they give me the go ahead to get surgery scheduled so I can be back on my feet before the holidays. Also back when I had my previous surgery the podiatrist commented on the fact that my right foot turns in quite a bit when I walk...he said my whole leg is actually turned and that eventually I'd probably start to have hip and back problems from it. Well guess what for the past 7-8 years I've suffered from severe back pain that no one can seem to diagnose other than fibromyalgia. He had said the only way to correct that would be basically break my leg and rotate the whole thing...which sounded pretty scary...now at 40 and facing disability from the back pain, I'm wandering if that would help any.
