Does anyone's big toe ever bend again after surgery? Shared post Jessica George I will be having bunion surgery soon as soon as I decide on a date. I am a runner but I am really saddened to know i will need to take time off. They will also do a plantar plate tear surgery. How many months until you were active again? More specifically, able to run again? No photo description available. Shared post Ashley Ranum Is it weird that I wore slides (sandals) into my surgery on 4/29 and I still can’t fit my feet into them? I mean, not even half way width wise. It seems odd to me that I got bone shaved off and yet my feet seem wider. I can’t believe they could still be that swollen. My dr says up to a year, but really? I also feel like I still see a bump on the side, but I can see on the X-ray where they were shaved off. I will also add they were not Shared post Jo Flear-Charlton I had my surgery on Wednesday I’m not needed any pain killers ( did on Wednesday and Thursday am) Am fully weight bearing Using crutches sparingly Back to working from home ( only 4 hrs a day) No photo description available.

I don’t have a lot of pain but it’s very unc No photo description available.. May be an image of shoes Shared post Joan Lindenmuth I am having MIS and hardware removal on Friday. I had lapiplasty on my right foot in Jan and now my left foot needs redone. Thankful it is minimal this time. Still asking for prayers for an easy recovery. They want me walking right away. How has that work for those who had the same surgery? Shared post Éva Bába I’m hoping that I will get the call soon for the date of my surgery, it’s been 9 months since I am waiting. Any advice what to ask at the pre op appointment? I was told that it could be a long recovery and no weight bearing for 6 weeks. The surgeon said that he is not very often see foot like mine. We discussed the risks like infection, distal neurovascular injury and recurrence or worsening of pain. but I need this surgery and I trying to be positive.
