I had right bunion surgery 2 days ago and I feel great. I really would like to go out to dinner... thoughts??
Hi Prudi, I found this information from: https://www.silvesterfootclinic.com/library/what-to-expect-after-bunion-surgery.cfm
"What to Expect After Bunion Surgery
Recovery from bunion surgery Week 1: The most important week: The first week after bunion surgery you should expect to spend most of the time resting with her foot elevated. Especially the first 3-4 days it is critical to keep her foot elevated to decrease swelling and pain. Often patients experience very little pain during this period if they keep the swelling to a minimum by elevation. Pain pills should be taken if necessary.
FAILURE TO KEEP THE FOOT ELEVATED DURING THE FIRST WEEK CAN RESULT IN SWELLING, PAIN, HEMATOMA, AND INFECTION AND NOT ONLY SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE THE RECOVERY BUT ALSO PLACE THE FOOT AT RISK."
I think I would just get take out, it wouldn't be worth it.
Best wishes
