Doctor was great but surgery was awful. I was unable to be weight bearing for 6 weeks, it was 6 months before I felt no pain and a year before I could wear normal shoes. I still can't wear any heel or wedge. I don't have pain now but my balance has never returned, I don't have full range of motion and I had back, hip and leg pain because of the year of walking poorly.

I need to have the other foot done but have been putting off the surgery because it is so awful. [/quote]

I’m one of the PPs that had surgery on one foot.  It was painful, for sure — which is why I waited 25 years to do the next one!  I definitely want to get it done before I get too old, though, and the bunion pain is now pretty bad.  Dr. Neufeld has a “minimally invasive” surgery that is supposed to be less painful, and I will supposedly be weight-bearing (I was with my other foot).  He did say that full recovery is lengthy (unable to run for for quite a while, for example).[/quote]
