Hi.
I’m 16 days post op having a scarf akin osteotomy for a large bunion. In in my 30s and the wound has healed well.
I’m still not weight-bearing on my foot (left) & using a stick my mum gave me (as I was told I didn’t need any aids).
However its pretty sore at times and as it takes 6 weeks for the bones to heal I’m reluctant to push it!
I’m still wearing my orthopedic shoe but only getting short distances with my stick. Should I be doing more?
Also the outer aspect of my big toes is still numb but only this part and I get weird sensations where my bunion once was like sharp jaggy feelings and tingles. I take it this is all normal??
Just looking for other people’s experiences.
