Its the long weekend but tomorrow I’m making another appointment with my podiatrist. I had my bunion surgery 11 months ago and I’m crying almost nightly from the pain, its still swells, stiff, with shooting pains and seizing muscles. I never had physio after my surg maybe thats why, I think theres too much scar tissue. Does the bone on the outside of your toe joint feel like its no longer padded with tissue like before? Were there specific exercises you were told to do? My doc said to just flex the toe and “push” and massage” the scar tissue.

Thanks for the comment! Hope your pin removal went okay! I thought getting the stitches out hurt way more than getting the pin removed! I couldn’t work for 8 weeks because my job involves being on my feet and walking the entire time, so it’s good that you are still able to go to work with the surgery shoe (I hated that thing). I hope you get as good results as I did! Best of luck with everything!

I’m sitting here at work almost 3 weeks post bunion surgery reading your blog and your story is very motivating because it sounds just like mine. Hopefully my end results will be as good as yours! I’m having my pin removed tomorrow after work and fortunately I can’t watch YouTube videos at work so I was unable to watch your video. I’m sure I would have passed out if I could see it! This is my first week back to work and I’ve been wearing my surgery shoe all day until I get home. Walking has been slow as I have been avoiding the left side of my right post bunion foot. You’re inspiring me to write my own blog!
