i had bunion surgery on may 29 2014 I have seen my podiatrist 1 week after surgery and he stated that I shouold start walk with the boot on short period a day and increase 1/2 hr every day. I am now experiancing numbness in my big toe and sweeling that becomes very painful. I thought when I went for consultation that 4 weeks was optimistic to start back to work I am confused please advise me on the proper rehabiltation on bunions surgery thank you

Your answers must come from your surgeon. There are many different bunion surgeries and the post op treatment can vary.Please discuss this with your doctor.

I would first x-ray your foot to see if the growth plates are closed. Then I would have a lengthy discussion with you and a parent(s) about the post op concerns from this type of surgery. I tell all my patients that foot surgery is inconvenient. After outlining all the important considerations, I tell the patients it is up to them to decide if the short term inconvenience is worth the long term benefit.You should ask your doctor these questions.
