excessive pain after bunionectomy

it has been almost 4 weeks after a chevron bunionectomy and I still have a lot of pain and my foot still swells a lot.
Is that normal?

    There is no simple answer to this. Your level of activity will influence the amount of swelling you will have. Gravity is the enemy of foot surgery. You need to understand that 4 weeks is a relatuively short period of time in post op recovery. Your doctor should examine your foot and answer your concerns.
