I am 5 weeks post bunionectomy.

I am 5 weeks post bunionectomy. I am unable to fully weightbear due to pain. I am taking Gabapentin 100 mg every 8 hours and hydrocodone every 4 hours as needed. I am never free of pain. My doctor said that nerves have been irritated or damaged. Does anyone have suggestions? Amanda Marie I am 8 months Post-Op and my foot has been messed up since day one. I wish I would have never touched my foot. Where the staple is up around the left side up into my big toes is Hypersensitive and numb. I am waiting to go get a second opinion from another doctor. My Foot Doctor was wishy washy on every single appointment after my surgery. His responses were mainly give it more time… to that’s normal…. to maybe we need to take the hard Tina Markovich Wasick I’m sure my Dr will prescribe/recommend but what did you use on the stitches during healing then after stitch removal that you loved? UnforgettableFlamingo5026 I had bunion surgery with two screws 6 months ago. I still have limited toe mobility and pain when walking. I can’t walk fast or run, and my toe cracks when I wiggle it. I also get pain after driving for more than 40 minutes. My surgeon said I don’t need physiotherapy or exercises. How long did it take you to walk normally and return to work? I really hope this won’t last for the rest of my life. 0:00 / 0:10 Emma Woods Question,has anyone changed their job after having their operations?
