Saw podatrist in Jan/Feb. Set up bunion/osteoectomy for May 22nd. He couldnt operate till March, Im going to WDW in April so we pushed it off.
There are times however that Im in agony. Taking 600mg prescribed Ibuprofen each day (can take up to 1800 per doc).
How much worse will this pain get? and how will I make it through 10days at WDW? anything I can do to help it?

I don't know what WDW is but oyu might try Aleve. It works well for joint issues.

try icing and elevating when you are resting

also, get a pair of wider sneakers/sandals and get a soft bunion splint that you can wear inside your shoes, as well as a soft gel toe separator to put between your big toe and 2nd toe.. these will help take the pressure off of the bunion and hopefully help minimize pain
