Hi. I’m abt 6 weeks post op. Give the go ahead to start walking. Any suggestions for a shoe/sneaker slide that I can use in this transition phase? My foot is swollen and even my “ wide” shoes/sneakers don’t fit. TYIA Shared post Jill Scheppler I’m considering MIS without hardware. I understand the healing of the bone occurs while you have the bandage wrap on for quite some time. Can anyone share results after several years of having the surgery without hardware? Shared post HappyOtter7017 Does anyone have a throbbing feeling at night time I try my best to get comfortable I would be laying here half way asleep and boom I’m back up! Feels like my incision site screaming right before I go to sleep. Shared post RadiantHedgehog6099 I am getting bunionette surgery in November. Has anyone gotten this? What can I expect? Were you able to wear normal sneakers a month or two after surgery? Shared post Anonymous member Hello I hope everyone is doing well I have a question . What are you guys doing for scars? can you please share your scar treatments please and thanks in advance Shared post Carol Knowlton-Chirko Has anyone been driving before 6 weeks? Shared post Dana Chambers Quinn Had my 10 week post op check-up. I’ve been released and can return to all activity, including running . I had the minimally invasive procedure that required 3 pinhole incisions and no metal hardware. Big toe was splinted with tape for 9 weeks while bone healed. May be an image of text that says 'X X' Shared post Ty Pie I'm about 37 days post-op...​I decided to take a big step forward today and walk in my regular sandals to a local Lidl, which was a 30-minute walk away.​I had MIS and the incision area is still sensitive, so I use adhesive wound dressings/plasters over the area to prevent any rubbing. It still feels "tighter" than Peter's Spidey costume, but it is an easier discomfort to deal with than my original bunion pain.​On top of that, with all the shopping I carried back in my rucksack and the 30-minute walk back, I have to say I understand what Tom feels like, because originally this mission felt impossible. As if that wasn't enough... I had a video call today with my surgeon's post-op care team, who ran through some questions before I reunite with my surgeon again, in person, in about two weeks' time or so.​Y'see, I had already booked a holiday with my family to see my in-laws and, without getting into too much detail, this was important, as two of my in-laws have been diagnosed with dementia. As a consequence, I would say my recovery has not been typical, and truth be told, I probably haven't followed all the recovery protocols of this mission like Spock would on the Starship Enterprise. 🖖🏾​I just can't sleep on my back.​I haven't always iced through discomfort.​I have probably walked more than I should?​But...​My video call went well and I seem to be meeting all the markers to suggest that healing is going in the right direction, confidence is building and listening to Bill Whithers sing Lovely Day...really does help. Take good care of yourselves my friends.
