I have to say this was the best experience!

Archive date 13 archived replies

I have to say this was the best experience! I was reading all the post op posts on here and was scared to death of the recovery after bunion surgery. Posts of so much pain, not being able to bear weight for several weeks, unable to mive their big toe without alot of pain and no driving for several months. I cancelled my surgery. Then I found and Dr Sklar! Holy Moly! The absolute opposite of all the posts! Weight bearing the same day, not on the ball of my foot of course but I walked out of the surgery unit in a post op shoe. The first three days were definitely painful. However, with the pain meds definitely doable. On day four I started taking Tylenol and that was perfect. I drove and went back to work after 10 days with no problems at all. I limited my walking to 15 minutes every hour and iced when I got home. I was able to move my big toe on my own on day four and in a gym shoe after 14 days. The entire staff is beyond, friendly and amazing and kind and knowledgeable, encouraging and wonderful! If you’re putting off your surgery because you’re not sure how the recovery is going to be or any type of fear, you need to see Dr. Sklar in his team. Best decision I ever made! (I  have no affiliation with this office nor have I been paid for my opinion/review)

Glad to hear the surgery was a success. Did you have keyhole surgery or the one op where they saw the bone?

Great news, but I have a hammer toe and bunion, every Dr is different, as is every person, and there recovery, some have more than a bunion, I’m glad yours went well, but still scary depending on depth of what needs done

I’m guessing your op was keyhole surgery? I think most of the fear comes from the op that involves sawing the bone & implementing metal screws - completely different recovery experience.

What type of procedure did you have done?

I’m so happy to hear that your big toe bunion has healed after your surgery! That’s wonderful news. If you ever experience any discomfort again, you might want to check out the LEFFIS Bunion Corrector for women’s big toe. It’s designed to help prevent bunions from getting worse and can provide extra relief. Wishing you continued health!
