I have had a bunion op done the lapidus way, bone fusion, together with the removal of a mortons neuroma. I am now 14 weeks post operative but am finding walking very very difficult, mainly due to pain in my ankle making walking painful. My ankle and right up to my knee is swollen. It seems that most posts are the first 8 weeks then things dry up, probably because things are improving. Has anybody experienced or experiencing the stage that I am at and suffering the same way, does it improve eventually?
