I had hallux limitus and had surgery 2 1/2 weeks ago. I had pain for several days after,especially at night. I am walking with the help of a cane and sometimes crutches. I have a pin which comes out in 2 weeks, very scared for more injections! I was awake during the bunion surgery and remember the needles well!! My ? is does anyone know if drinking a few beers or wine will do anything to the healing? I'm 38 and enjoy a drink now and then, especially since I quit smoking! :-) :O
