Orthotics after Bunion & Morton Neuroma Surgery, and a question on the screw in toe
How important is having Orthotics after my surgeries, and when can they actually take the mold from your feet for them? Does there have to be "No" swelling in the big toe before they can fit you for them? My Dr. says he makes the orthotics himself. My big problem is getting enough money to pay for them.
Another question: I have a screw in my toe after surgery. How can I tell if the screw is trying to come out?

I can only answer the neuroma question. I had one removed about 6 years ago and my doc said nothing about orthotics and I haven't used them. Don't know why you would need to if it was removed correctly.

orthotics would help with bunion prone feet. I can't say about when to get the fit after surgery as I had mine done before hand. As for the screw, if it moves it will cause discomfort in the area. X-rays can show if they have moved if you continue to have problems well after surgery.

i think ortodics would be a great idea after the bunion surgery. i think i got mine after my foot totally healed. maybe insurance would cover some the cost if your dr writes a letter saying you need them.
