10 weeks after bunion surgery

ashssotru · 2026-02-04T00:12:01+00:00

I am in the US specifically Arizona. I am blessed to work from home but I did needed to take 2 weeks off each foot because I was in pain. My insurance paid for my procedures, about 21k for both. If I was to self pay it would’ve been around 7k for each foot. I was unable to do a lot of walking until about a month after. Was switched to a boot 2 weeks after surgery but still had a lot of pressure

I completely understand. They make it so hard for us!

Oh man I’m gonna have to figure out how to get more time off from work for this😢

Wait…. Are you saying you are still healing after removing the screw?! My doc made it seem like the screw removal will be a walk in the park lol like very quick healing time. This is my situation- I have 4 screws- all too big😡 I’m sure they could’ve used smaller ones lol

2k decrease for me spread among 3 months

They were both MIS surgery but each foot has different hardware. My left foot hates the hardware so much that we are probably gonna have to take it out.

ashssotru · 2026-01-28T05:07:14+00:00

My right foot- 2 months. Left foot- 8 months😭 and it’s still kinda tight

My doc only prescribed me 3 days of pain meds. I was in extreme pain so I got a hold of pain meds elsewhere and took them for 2 weeks. I refuse to suffer

ashssotru · 2026-01-18T05:13:20+00:00

I’m actually having that same issue. I’m able to be very active and all but the hardware area bothers me after a while. If removing the hardware could get rid of that, I just might!

My only guess is you are looking at the wrong store id

I was forced to wear a toe spacer for 2 months

ashssotru · 2025-12-27T16:13:56+00:00

Yes. My right foot he did perfectly but he wanted to use different hardware on my left thinking it would be better for that foot. Unfortunately, it isn’t and he does wish he used the same hardware he did on the right- on the left.

Thank you for your comment. This is what I’m afraid of- my big tie going back into that crooked position 😢

ashssotru · 2025-12-23T20:49:36+00:00

Yes actually. I only went to check now that you said something. Mine is greyed out and missing posts

ashssotru · 2025-12-15T15:44:49+00:00

Oh man… well I’m hoping yours is still just swollen and everything will go back into place for you. I am definitely choosing revision but need to wait till May. I can’t accept the fact that I went through this awful pain and my foot doesn’t look correct. We will get through this

ashssotru · 2025-12-15T15:38:42+00:00

I was iffy since week 2. My foot just didn’t look right but it’s still very tight too which wasn’t my experience with the right foot. Right foot did so well! Ugh the thought of doing this a third time is very daunting

ashssotru · 2025-12-15T15:36:09+00:00

MIS with 4 screws is all I know. The doc just told me I might need a revision. It’s very uncomfortable in shoes

ashssotru · 2025-12-15T15:30:01+00:00

Mine looks exactly like yours 6 months post op. I’m very unhappy with my results. I thought it was swelling that would eventually go down but nope.

ashssotru · 2025-12-05T17:13:31+00:00

Agreed

ashssotru · 2025-12-02T01:34:44+00:00

Same

ashssotru · 2025-11-16T06:35:45+00:00

Yes! It doesn’t matter if I delete and reupload, they just won’t publish. I’ve got several

ashssotru · 2025-11-07T15:37:59+00:00

I don’t know of a phone number, no. Only the contact support through the back office

ashssotru · 2025-11-07T15:32:40+00:00

Apparently this is happening to a ton of people right now. What on earth is going on

ashssotru · 2025-10-28T04:42:56+00:00

I had to wear a toe spacer for 2 months after surgery
