surgical corn removal post op symptoms

I had 3 corns removed on March 16, 2007. Two were located on my ring toe, one on the middle toe but on the left side. I had the surgery on Friday, March 16th and returned back to work on Tuesday, March 20th. The Doctor prescribed me with a non-narcotic pain killer but I hardly took it . I found that ibuprofen/advil alleviated the pain. I had the stitches removed the week of March 26th (I can’t remember exact date). It’s a little scary when you see your toes unwrapped for the first time. I had a line of stitches down my ring toe as well as the side, with severe bruising. I wore the surgical black boot from 3/16 until April 6th. (The doctor did make the surgery seem less painful then what it was – but I think In my opinion – I’ve experienced that tale more then once.) I have now been in a wide sneaker since April 6th. I have to keep my toes wrapped as well as the top part of my foot. I still have minor bruising but the black mark from the stitches is finally starting to go away. Today I tried to go without my toes/foot wrapped and I am in pain. It’s not so much my toes as much as my actual foot. Obviously, it’s because of the way I’m walking. I work in NYC, so I do walk to and from the train as well as when I am at work. I had my bunion removed about 6 years ago and although it was a while ago, I remember the healing process to be a bit easier. I did however drive to and from work during that time. That may have helped my recovery a bit. I think everyone is different in regards to recovery time. I had a bunion removed and went dancing one month later. Now, I’m still putting ice on my foot a month later after getting 3 little corns removed.
I hope to be in my sexy heels soon!! I’m tired of these sneakers!!
Good Luck and if you have any more questions, feel free to ask!!
