3 months post surgery. My surgery and recovery was easy and I’ve been walking pain free with some residual swelling. When I lay my foot flat on the floor, I noticed that my toe is now drifting back towards my second toe again, so I made an appointment and was told that it already turned 8° because I’m continuing to overpronate and that I’ll need better arch support. I thought the purpose of this surgery was to correct my foot and I’m so disappointed now. Has anyone else dealt with this? Thank you in advance.

Any SUGGESTIONS FOR SUPPLEMENTS to help reduce swelling..I know no salt, no alcohol, lots of water, protein, 4-6 oz plain oatmeal in the am with meds and take vitamins C and D before and after. Any other ideas? Peptides (brand?) I’m open to anything. I already ordered some had weights under 12.5 lbs. Thanks

I am 10 weeks post and it has been going pretty smoothly - with small ups and downs - but normal according to people's posts here. But...last night had the most terrible night. I was getting zapping sensations on my right foot toe at the base. I have had that before maybe once or twice a day. But yesterday evening and all through the night it was basically every 20-30 seconds and they were bad enough that I didn't get any sleep. Is this normal as the nerves heal? Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi everyone, I joined because I am awaiting an NHS (UK) appointment to get my bunion assessed to see if they will operate as it’s becoming very difficult with the pain it’s causing me. It’s been getting steadily worse and worse over the last 10 years and I’ve finally plucked up the courage to try to do something about it but some of the posts are starting to worry me as it seems like a very painful operation. My question really is, going down the NHS route, is there any possibility of having keyhole surgery or is it just done by the traditional method please? Also, if I ultimately decide to go down the private route for MIS, can anyone (living in the Midlands UK) recommend a clinic. The only ones I have found are in the London area and that would prove difficult. Thanks and very grateful for any advice and helpful information as it’s worrying me as to whether I should even be considering this
