[quote=Anonymous]I did both feet about 20 years ago (separate surgeries about 2 years apart). I wasn't in terrible pain, but was definitely uncomfortable and was starting to get weird skin irritations on the actual bunions. It was the best thing I could've done for myself. While, yes, it does take about a year to be "back to normal," the recovery included about 2 weeks on crutches and 6 weeks in a shoe/boot. Then you're down to tennis shoes/sneakers, and low profile comfortable shoes for the next 3-4 months. I was back in heels within 8-9 months at the very most. Sensible shoes and not pushing it too far were how I managed. In terms of long-term impact, I do have one foot where my big toe has some limited mobility with attempting to stand on my toes. However, it's minimal and does not impact anything in terms of daily life or shoe choices. My doctor was Dr. Richard Cohen in Greenbelt, Maryland. He was fantastic.[/quote]
