I am a competitive runner. Can I run after bunion removal?

my surgeon said i could do ultras - i doubt 5k would be a problem. but why not just phone your surgeon rather than asking a bunch of folk on the internet who don't have a clue?

I had a bunionectomy and osteotomy last November 2006. I do 4 half marathons and 1 FULL MARATHON per year. So far after surgery, I have been able to run 3 miles four times a week. No more! More mileage = pain. My doctor says I should be able to run my normal base mileage of 25-30 miles per week in about 2 more months. I have some slight stiffness and hope it will go away with continued stretching exercises for the toe.

I had bunion surgery in November, 2006 (one foot). I am now running about 30 minutes twice a week. I have some stiffness and pain but not too bad. I am just trying to build up slowly!

Answer to Carla88, Your Surgeon is perform the technical procedure of surgeon but does not has any experience of painful after treadment. The people in the internet and your doctor will help all your Q/A.

So can everyone run ok after their bunion surgery. I'm concerned as well. I run and I'm a little paranoid that I won't be able to post surgery. How have you folks been doin?
