Q: degenerative arthritic changes with Frieberg's disease

hey there...

I am a 25 yr old female, known for asthma and gastritis with GERD, was diagnosed 6 yrs earlier with Frieberg's disease in the Rt foot which is avascular necrosis of the 2ns metatarsal head, nothing was offered to me at that time and i was only told that the bone will regrow normally !!!

but 6 months passed and i completely lost the joint, it was swollen, painful and i can no longer move it, i was offered surgery then, but i did not want to go for it, i only used broader shoes with support

now its stage V of the disease with degenrative arthritic changes in the 2nd toe which needs surgery especially that i want to get a driving lisence and i will join military training in about 6 months...

I also have hallux valgus deformity in both feet but more on the Lt foot, and i was offered surgey for that problem too because conservative measures failed ...

Now i do not know what to do, is it necessary to go for surgery if i will join army or to get a driving lisence?
