I had bunion surgery 7 days ago. the pain is not as bad as i thought it was going to be. it is tolerable. i have been putting an ice pack on my foot and have been propping up my foot. i was not given crutches, my husband was told by the DR. that i need to walk on my heel. i was given an ankle boot. the doctor originally said i had a BIG bunion right before we went into surgery and after surgery he showed my husband the XRAY and shows my foot straight with 2 pins. the doctor told him that it was not as bad as he thought it was going to be and that he did not have to cut as high up the foot like he thought he had to..
i go to my first follow up appotinment tomorrow and cant wait to see if i am healing properly.
