:bouncing: Hi...this is the first time that I am posting. I just had a bunionectomy last week. I went into surgery thinking that I was going to have a joint replacement done and all I remember hearing was that they sent the wrong one. Then I was out of it. I didn't know that I didn't have it done until I went to the doctors office 2 days later. I was disappointed...4 years I had a bunionectomy done on the other foot...it didn't work so the following year...I had the replacement done....it worked great. This time, we decided to go right to the joint replacement. Oh well...maybe it will work. I went to the doctor yesterday and he moved the big toe around a lot and boy am I in pain today. Has anyone had the joint replacement done before? The doctor wants me to go another week non-weight bearing. I hope that this works...I don't want another foot suregery done.
