Well, i'm 21 and 2 weeks and 5 days into my post op period. I can say that my bonuin pain was extremely painful so the mitchel surgery' i had performed on my left foot (right foot after this one has healed) was a must.Immediately after surgery, when i woke up, i felt a little pain in my bonuin area (where my bonuin was). but to no extent as bad a pain as i had previously felt pre op. When i got home i felt pressure and pins and needles' in my big toe, but the pain would subside with co-codamol or even panadol at times.i went to see my dr. for my 1st post op visit, bandages were removed and stitches were taken out. i'm told i still cannot put my whole foot on the floor, i have to walk with my heel for another 4 weeks, which i'm tired of doing already, but have to stick to. My foot is perfect i must say! Compared to how it looked before! I have to have my second post op visit in 3 weeks time hopefully then i can walk normally.I had to keep my foot elevated throughout my first 2 weeks post op appointment and i was told not to wet the foot at all. Now i can take a normal bath finally, but still feel a bit of pain when the foot isn't elevated for too long.I didn't spend a long time in bed, but i couldn't walk for too long either, so leaving the house was not an option for me.In my opinion, it is completely worth it and i would recommend it to anyone whose bonuins are painful and interfering with their day to day life. I have been given a silicone spacer to place between my big toe and second toe. This is to stop the big toe from slanting back to it's former position. I have to wear this spacer 24-7 and am supposed to wear it for life.The only con i can present is the pins and needles i am feeling in my big toe but it's nothing and i am told it will gradually disappear.thanks for reading
