I have to get a bunion removed and a screw put in my big toe. I was wondering if anyone knows how long I will have to stop my spinning classes? I am getting married at the end of July and would be willing to stop for about a month, but not much longer.
Thanks,

I had a screw put in my big toe Nov 11. The surgeon cut the joint that had a bit of arthritus. I really wish I had not had it done. I am still walking with a limp and the surgeon said I have been unlucky and the healing has made some fibrous tissue grow that is preventing normal movement.
It has effected all the side of my leg and I have pain in my groin. I cannot walk for long and never wear any kind of heal just trainers.
If you are getting married I would not have it done. Too much stress and the bad result from the operation really lowered my spirit and my partner noticed a difference in my personality. I can feel the metal when I walk and I did go to a top surgeon.
There's no going back, and every day I regret consenting to this operation. |

I wouldn't do it if I were you. Recoveries are usually different for everyone depending on their condition and the qualifications/experience of the doctor. Know your doctor and make sure he/she understands your condition very well before jumping and doing this procedure. I also really really really don't recommend you doing it until after.
Good luck! |

I just had bunion surgery June 20. I am amazed at the recovery and very little pain I had, unless it was the pain medicine I was on for about 4days. I went back to the dr after a week and he changed my dressings. Looked great. I have to wait for 2 weeks after I saw him on the 27th to take everything off and shower.. I've been walking in a boot till Aug 1, when I go back.. Be ready, you can't drive for that long, it's illegel... sorry if I spelled that wrong.. I have to do the other foot and won't hesitate... Good Luck. |
