Hi Ande.....I have been diagnosed with CRPS after my bunion surgery. Do you mind sharing with me your symptoms and how you got into remission? I'm still struggling and having trouble getting straight forward answers.
I appreciate the help!

Hi,
After the surgery I developed pain complex syndrome. I feel coldness, needles and pins, dull pain at night, and I am unable to practice yoga, which I used to practice everyday. I cannot go to the gym anymore, cannot walk long distance, and I cannot wear dressy shoes. My life is not the same since I got the surgery. Additionally, the podiatrist cut one the toe in the center of my feet a way too much. I have difficulty stepping on it. My pain is nerve pain at night, and during the day is a different pain. In other words, two different type of pains. Unfortunately, I cannot get another surgery due to the nerve pain, but there is impossible to fix the middle toe because any doctor can add bone to it. BE CAREFUL WITH PODIATRIST!

I had a silver bunionectomy on my Jan/16 and the pain was tolerable, but lasted a few months. I still get that sharp stabbing pain on the big toe bone, but other than the ugly scar on my pasty flesh I think the surgery went well. The surgeon is at the op of his field in N.A. (I am in Canada). I have fibromyalgia, so I deal with pain every day. I just had the right one done, this time a McBride bunionectomy and the pain is so bad that it causes tears and yelps when sitting or lying still and is unbearable with movement. The toe nerves have spasms and are twitching and it is almost unbearable - opiates do not help me with pain. Over time I know it will get better, but it is not a quick process and the pain on each foot prior to having the surgery was why I had the procedures done - it wasn't for cosmetic reasons. If I had a 3rd foot (I'd) have the surgery done again as the endgame of daily pain reduction will have been reached.

Don't do bunionectomy unless you have so much pain there is no alternative. All do not go well. Mine didn't and it has changed my life. I cannot even wear socks anymore, much less suffer through shoes. My podiatrist said nothing he do for the nerve damage, see you later...

don't do the surgery! I had the surgery in 2001 yes 16 years ago. I can not even stand the bed sheet touching that area. It is horrible pain, much worse then the bunion......

Podiatrists are not physicians

Do not take a risk ... it is not worthy. It is worthy for the podiatrist $$$$ because treating nails and fungus won't pay the bills.

I've had multiple foot surgeries and now have subsequent problems findings shoes to fit or that I can walk in. Therefore, finding a new pair of shoes takes a lot of time, trial, and error. I've almost run out of options, and was hesitant to order on line just because I knew I'd probably have to return them. As predicted that did happen. And though I didn't find a shoe to fit, I appreciate the opportunity to give it a try. I ordered, tried, and returned several times without being charged shipping or any hassle. I thank the orthofeet for that privilege.

I had to do a Google search to find who sold Orthofeet Biofit Pacific Palisades and you came up. So I bought them from orthofeet. The shoes DO fit as they should. I have noticed however, that they are not as beefy as before. I can understand as they are expensive shoes and the manufacturer is trying to keep the price down. But they still fit perfectly, accepted my orthotic without complaint, and my feet still have wiggle room for my toes. Great shoe. I fervently hope you continue to carry these and the manufacturer will continue to make them.

Don't do it. I had the titanium implant in my big toe. Random nerve pain catches me off guard. The type of shoe I can wear is greatly reduced. It is 100% worse than before the surgery. I've done PT and I can stand on my toes, but it is swollen all the time and trips me constantly!

Calm advice in a storm of fear and uncertainty! I'm 6 weeks post op and have significant post surgical neuropathy. I'm impatient, but, not panicking yet. You are 100% correct. Takes a full 12 months to determine if it was a successful surgery. For those of you that it made worse- did you change from "normal" shoes to ones better suited for natural foot alignment? Not saying that surgeries cant be botched, but, how much of that botching was caused by doing the same thing the same way and expecting different results??
In my research, less than 10% of these surgeries fail.
