Re: Bunion surgery

I had Bunion surgery, on both feet, when I was 28. I didn’t even have any pain. Best thing I ever did for my feet. 

 

I had quite a bit of swelling and for about 6 months, I had to go up 1/2 a shoe size and wear a wide shoe. Then back to normal. 


Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

I have had bunion surgery, but my knees are fine. It was quite a few years ago, but the only issue for me was not being able to run for about a week, but I could still ice skate.

 

Walking was a little uncomfortable, but it wasn't what I consider to be pain. Foot was tender for what seemed like forever, but it did not inhibit any of my regular physical activities.

Good for you and your quick walking. Like you have done, when I have an issue with mobility, getting to the source and fixing it is what I want done. If it requires surgery and "down time", so be it. I am not interested in a temporary fix, I want the source eliminated, when possible.

 

Keep up your walking!
