What is bunion surgery and recovery like?

Posted by tkrfail21 @tkrfail21, Jun 25 12:00pm

I have inherited the tendency to have a bunion only on one foot. The bunion itself does not hurt, but it is apparently pinching nerves, running up the surface of my foot toward my ankle. I have sharp pains even at night when i'm sleeping. Can anyone share and shed some light on what bunion surgery and recovery is like? I have heard the whole process can be incredibly painful.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Bones, Joints & Muscles Support Group.

Knee replacement on the same leg as bunion won't allow me to use a knee scooter. Looking into mobility scooter to get around house. Hubby thinks that is over kill and won't need it.
