It has been very hard for me to sleep even at 5 weeks the nerve in my foot has been really bothering me so my doctor prescribed me gabapentin… I’m not a really big pill taker never knew this could be used to help with nerve pain anyone else tried this pill before? Clare Louise Pratt Hiya, is a hospital nurse on here who as had bunion surgery ? Corrinne Shaw So, I had surgery back on July, Wednesday the 8th and was back to the hospital on the 13th to deal with the wire that had worked its way out of toe 3. I was told this isn't that uncommon. It happens about 30% of the time, and even if it were to come all the way out, the new method of doing this surgery doesn't use wires at all. Anyway, my ortho surgeon cleaned my toe, clipped the wire and redressed the foot with orders to contact the hospital again if I see anymore wire. M Debra Brown Wylie I had bunion surgery on both feet one year ago. The bunion issue was resolved but now I live with tingling toes. Also the balls of my feet get sore easily. The tingling in my toes changes to slight pain at night. These are all issues I did not have prior to the surgery. I'm waiting on referal to w nerve doctor so I can explore what is happening. Bloodwork has been completed by my GP to rule out anything else that could be going on. Bloodwork came back perfect.
