Thats a great idea, we will see what we can do. A good overall rule is after a surgery you get about 50% improvement of bone pain within 6 weeks, 75% at 3 months and 90-95% at about 6 months. Some heal quicker but be prepared for longer than you think when it is your foot.

Hey Doctor, are ligaments ever severed (or not severed) in bunionectomies? For surgeries which do not involve permanent plates/screws that inhibit joint movement, I'm hypothesizing that procedures that do not cut ligaments (if there are any) would promote better long-term healing.

Hello I had bunion surgery to my left foot I am on my 6th week . I am alittle confused on what type of surgery I had . I think it’s considered minimally invasive as I had a milder bunion and only two incisions , but I had a pin placed in the bone for 3 weeks also. Anyway , my question js, at 6 weeks post op is it normal to still have lain and discomfort espy at night ? My foot likes to jerk while trying to sleep and sharp stabbing pains in my toe and foot almost like spams ? Swelling has gone down but this is my first week walking in the boot , and I’m expected to walk in shoes in a few days. Alittle nervous about that ! Thanks

I think I'm on the lucky end, but do have a couple questions at the end. I had a cheilectomy on my right foot, and an Austin bunionectomy on the left, 19 days ago. So far, it's gone like this: Day of: The anesthesia was wearing off before I woke up because my body metabolizes that stuff like it's a race. Day 5 post-op: Stopped pain meds It takes a tremendous amount of pain for me to reach for any meds. Three dry sockets after having my wisdom teeth taken out a week after a natural childbirth at home? Nope. No me. But this? Uh. Yeah. I needed it. Day 9 post-op: I drove myself to a bookstore. My husband offered to drive, but my right foot felt fine to do it. I used crutches, though, and the annoying shoes. Day 10 post-op: The next day, I went back to the bookstore, but without using crutches, and just the annoying shoe on the left foot. I decided screw the right shoe, at least, and put on one of my regular shoes, mindful of the gauze (yeah, I changed it when it came loose, and yes, I know how thanks to my medical history). (And then back to the bookstore on days 11 and 14--I'm a book-nerd.) Day 11 post-op: Sutures out. Walking around the house without those annoying shoes, though careful to walk on the outsides of my feet and wiggling my right (cheilectomy) toe around, figuring it's not like I can break it, like the other with the cut bone. I sleep with a brace on the left foot, and usually don't wear it when walking around the house, but I absolutely do when going out somewhere. Day 13: Incisions are both healed, remarkably so that I took pics to prove it, except for a tiny part at the forward-most part of my left toe, the one with the Austin. I've been carefully massaging that incision to prevent scar tissue from building of the incision from adhering to stuff. So far, so good, but scared to death to touch the right foot much. Day 16: I smashed my left foot, and holy crap OWE. 'Twill be fine, I decided. Day 17: I decided okay, ER-time. Pain + pus = not risking it. Infection. Antibiotics. Pain's tolerable. X-rays were done, and they said that the healing is "as expected", and not broken, and I'd been concerned about. Day 19: I can flex my right toe (cheilectomy) almost 90 degrees, and extend...well, 15-20 degrees, when there's not angry burning and my nerves deciding I need to suffer. The things I can't help but worry about are how long it'll be before that burning goes away, and my left (austin) toe doesn't have much movement yet. I have an appointment on day 25, and hopefully PT will start. I'm a dancer, and can't help but worry. So how long until the burning typically lets up, and when waiting to start PT util at least day 28 (day 25 is a Friday), am I likely to get any range of motion back in my bunionectomy foot?

Not specific to your situation, but the downside of a foot procedure is that it takes a lot of time! I can't tell you even from breaking my own toe, it takes forever! A good timeline is about 50% improvement in 6 weeks, 75% improvement in 3 months and then about 90-95% in 3 months is a tough estimate. At the beginning it feels like nothing is working, nerves are agitated and the stiffness will last forever, but then it's like a snowball where the symptoms start to get better and better. Every surgery takes time, for sure after that early of a time, things should get much, much better!

You wouldn’t advise this right time frame I’m guessing? Postpone surgery? When do the “dark days” typcially happen? Should I plan 4-6 months before that kid a trip? I know it’s hard to say without seeing my foot but a guesstimate is helpful.

Great video Doctor! I just had a bunion removed from my large big toe. It looked like a hook and started separating from his four friends. I had my first post-op yesterday. I've been getting around pretty well with my walker and 4 prong cane. I do have a knee scooter. Besides all that, what kind of exercises can I do post-op? I have a body blade and peddle . I thought about just a lot of stretching. I'm taking for pain is tylenol. I was given torado and that was a disaster!

Lmao, 😂 I am 6 months in and I had three procedures done on my foot. I had a bunionectomy, foot Osteotomy, and a Fusion with Lapidus procedure. Only problem I had was being too nervous b4 surgery and couldn’t stop smoking cigs til day of surgery! Although I broke the rules and continued to vape a little bit I am still healing relatively great! I have a check up coming up as well! learning how to utilize crutches was not something I had to practice, however it does at time tire me out. I drink plenty water and eat well and take my medication and maintain my health very effectively! My weight also was definitely never an issue as I am a medium built guy 5’8” 148 to 175 fluctuating. I am just scared to walk at the moment until I have my 6 week follow up visit on 01-31-2024

Definitely not giving specific advice, and always see a doctor. Yet we find that on average at less than 2 months or so it can be very difficult to ever tell the final result. For any type of surgery inflammation can impact nerve function, but we find generally 50% at 6 weeks, 75% at 3 months and 90% at 6 months. All surgery is tough, especially one that you have to walk on!

I went in for a tailor bunion protruding on the right foot by my pinky toe, literally by the side of my foot. They told me to have it shaved because it wasn't so bad and I did. Now the bone feels like its protruding on the bottom of my foot, so when I go to walk I can feel a sharp stab right by the edge of my right foot on the right side of it. SMH will this go away and can it be due to swelling?

Foot surgery is tough because you put all your body weight on it, also patients usually have tightness and contractures that put pressure on that site ahead of time. We have patients consider good orthotics and good shoes in the 6 months following surgery for fastest relief. These can take 6 months or more to feel better!

Thank you doctor for the video , very informative . I’m on day 11 post op of Mc bride bunionectomy and I cannot put my feet on the floor because I’m scared the cut is open up . Doctor told me I can shower and wet my feet but I want to wait longer , is it necessary to open up to the air or I can keep it bandage for a while ? And is it ok if I wait until the stitch totally heal before I put weight on my foot ( left side ) ? Thank you doctor .

So, I am a 21 y/o, active, healthy and I weight 167. I just had an Austin bunionectomy on my left foot 3 days ago. Seems like I am at the perfect age and health for a fast recovery (so I can only hope)!

How are you recovering ? Can u workout or go to the gym yet? I’m concerned about getting the surgery because i want to be able to run at least after a month

@@user-vu9gd8ed1h I recovered really fast. I was back to my normal running in under 2 months and I’ve been going to the gym. Once you’re cleared for activity, keep it moving as you do not want it to get stiff. Start with long distance walking to keep it lubricated.

Should you see a podiatrist or an orthopedic surgeon?

Both can do a great job for sure. There are many very quality doctors in both professions. Find a well recommended and rated doctor and you should be in great shape!

Well my lady Podiatrist and I have a plan , alas I will be not an Easy- Peasy bunion surgery, so going " Sleepy-Bye" after all. Went from what I was hoping m.i. bunionectomy to my Left big toe trying to flirt with toe #3, # 2 is trying to cry out too so in "Pain City" A fusion & maybe more- lost 1/2 my body weight due to Bariatrics but the Breakdown of joints lingers on. People Lose your weight- if that's still not enough- find a Good Podiatric Surgeon and progress from there!
