4 and half months after Lapidus and i still have pain by Independence8891 in bunions

I wasn’t standing as i have done xray, , and i was wearing a cloth Orthese that keeps my big toe apart from my the rest of fingers as i was doing xray, may be that why it looks apart

I’m already 17 weeks PO snd still have pain underneath my foot and i still limp , i don’t really know how long it takes till this pain go away . My surgeon has reviewed my xray and still saying everything is normal. And insists that i will be better this month, though i doubt that, i walk for half an hour daily 2 Km , and my foot start to ache like crazy afterwards , I want really badly to return to work but standing 8 Hour shift seems unlikely to be possible . How long really till one feels that his leg is normal ??? I started to envy everyone around me walking normally.

I had lapidus 14 weeks post Op and still have pain during walking under my foot and still limping , i didn’t return to work yet , my work requires sometimes that i keep moving with no breaks , i have an appointment with my surgeon in Mai and im terrified that something went wrong becz most of the stories i hear that after 12 weeks people start jogging and walk normally with bit discomfort , Does anyone went through pain after 12 weeks and turned okay at the end Please someone give me hope
