Im 2 weeks post opp on getting bunion and Taylor’s bunion surgery on my right foot.
Im 2 weeks post opp on getting bunion and Taylor’s bunion surgery on my right foot. Obviously a pretty rough start but at my two week check up i felt okay, less pain and the swelling and bruising were going down. And i got my stitches out on both sides, which did indeed hurt. I think I’ve been doing very well with keeping it elevated, no weight on it, and iced. That night after my 2 week check up, i started experiencing a different type of pain i couldn’t pin point. Almost like pins and needles throughout the top of my foot and toes, then an excruciating long lasting pain just lingering going in and out throughout my foot. I looked into and saw it could potentially be my nerves healing and “waking back up”. My doctor confirmed the same thing. But it’s been continuous and to the point I’m crying from the pain. It lasts for about 45 minutes to an hour. Has anyone else experienced this? My doc prescribed me 800mg of ibuprofen but it’s not doing much. The pain is a lot to handle and i consider myself having a pretty high pain tolerance. Just hoping i haven’t messed anything up or if anyone can just ease my anxiety on this (or feed into it idk). TIA. 🙂 Im 2 weeks post opp on getting bunion and Taylor’s bunion surgery on my right foot.

Said Lapiplasty may not be the solve long term, so to do the fusion instead. Recommended orthotics and CBD cream for Arthritis. How do I know if fusion is the only/right option? Suggestions or thoughts on CBD cream? Note same Podiatrist had assistant wrap my foot (not toe) to see how support would feel. Wrapping left me with blisters after day 1 so I had to remove it. Needless to say trying to find another doctor for second opinion - Podiatrist or Orthopedist? Will orthotics help to not require surgery? TIA!
