Bunion surgery will take a little while to recover. You should be out of work for about a week and not walking for about a month. You will be in a boot or a cast for a few weeks to a couple months possibly on crutches. Good Luck!!!!!

You should consult with your podiatrist on pre-surgery preparation.

repair of hallux valgus and repair of second, third clawtoe correction
Opinions may vary depending upon what was done during surgery. Best person to ask is the Surgeon or his team who did the operation
One can talk to their doctors for less expensive alternatives to removing bunions.

bunion deformityA bunion.
A bunion is a painful swelling on the first joint of the big toe, usually causing the big toe to point inwards towards the other toes. Although the exact cause is not known, it is believed that family history and wearing poorly fitting shoes can both be held accountable. Surgery is generally only recommended when the bunion prevents the sufferer from wearing normal shoes. The results are not drastic and do not generally improve the overall look of the foot and therefore should not be considered purely for cosmetic reasons.
You can get relief from bunion pain by wearing a bunion corrector. Experts said it eases the pain and inflammation produced by a bunion. Also, one can wear this on heels, shoes, and when doing exercises.
