Angry pain after bunion surgery

Hello everyone, I had surgery in June 2001. I had both of my bunions done at the same time. Everyone was going smooth. The surgery was a cinch and I suffered no complications. I went for PT to help my feet I am a teacher so I had the whole summer off to heal. Now I am suffering pain in my right foot off and on, but never in my left foot. The pain is coming from under my big toe. I was wondering has anyone else suffered any pain. It is almost a year and I just starting getting this pain? Any thoughts are feedback would greatly help.

Hi there, I'm sorry I don't have an answer to your question, but I was wondering if you could tell me how your scar looks after a year post op. I had my left foot done in Sept. of 2001 and 7 months later it's still kind of red and bruised in that area. Is that normal and will it EVER go away!? It's not very bad or anything but I was under the impression that after this much time, all I would be left with is a scar.

had bunionectomy on both feet in 93,, with no pain meds afterwords,, i was in pain for several weeks, lots of swelling and throbbing yet my dr put a freezing agent inside the wound before he sewed me up, so i got off lucky, by the time the 'real' pain set in, i was pretty much healed. a year or so after the surgery, i incurred the same 'ball' pain under my big toe on one foot,,, i was informed this was due to inappropriate shoes, and or standing on my feet for a long period, or from dancing in which i had been doing some. its been almost 10 yrs and finally there just now starting to grow back, and im experience more pain in both feet now. i hd a wonderful dr, yet i do recall signing a contract of knowledge that this is not a permanent rememdy for bunions,, they will grow back eventually, usually 10-13 yrs after inital surgery. my mother had one foot done in 99 and totally regrets it,, her foot is so deformed and she can barely move her toes,, she didnt take my advice and use my podiatrist :-(. My scars are not that visible althought it did take a while (over a year) for them to get to the most unnoticeable . I used sunscreen on my scars if i went out in the sun,, which i fanatic about :-P ok all, ive gabbed enought, hope to have helped

hey l'il bit.....my podiatrist cut a wedge out of the bone in the big toe, straightened the big toe and put two surgical screws in to keep the toe straight. he never said the bunion might "grow back"..!!!!! i don't see how it could unless i didn't have the screws in there? say it ain't so!!!!!!

claujah, unfortunately it is so. Bunion is bone, they only shave it down, and have to break and reset due to the former bunion making your toe crooked. Mine were done in 93-94 and yes they are growing back, yet not as fast as they were before my surgery. Goodluck
