okay i had my accsesory bone in my foot taken out and my achilles tendon loosened and my hammertoe straightened with a pin. The doctor said the worst of my pain would be the two days after my surgery. and this week i got my cast put on and its in extreme pain, i cant straighten my leg without a sharp burning pan shooting from my heel up to my knee! and its extremly painful and i don't know why, because my worst pain should be over by now! can you help me out and tell me how to help the pain lessen or go away? thanks!

I am having all 5 toes worked on and 2 bunions taken off my right foot. Why would I have to have a blood thinner injection one time a day for 30 days afterward? I've had surgery before and not had to do this. I know this is to prevent clotting. But I still don't understand. Is it because I am diabetic? Although several years ago I had surgery on my leg and never had to give myself any injections so why this time?

I know you have to have pins put in and im fine with that but im scared to have them removed!! is it really painful to have them removed? I am not sure if I am willing to go through the surgery if i hav to have pins taken out! i mean its just a toe that looks different! but I have heard some people say it doesnt hurt to have the pins taken out and some people say it does hurt. let me know! thanks!

i have a major phobia of being in pain and i'm terrified about having this surgery! the doctor said they'll cut a tendon on top of my foot and put pins in for a month to straighten it. i'm wondering how much the actual surgery hurts and when they take out the pins? and also is it worth it in the end?

I had bunion surgery and a hammertoe fixed (born with 'em) 2 and a half weeks ago and am having the stitches removed on January 7th. I have a 3 inch incision under my big toe, and a 2 inch incision under the toe next to it. When my doctor tried to remove them and discovered that they were not ready to come out, it hurt, it felt like a burning pinch. Was that because it wasn't healed enough, or is that how it feels to have them come out?

By the way, I'm 14 and can't tolerate a lot of pain.

I had hammertoe surgery about a month ago, and I notice today that my toes(the surgery ones) are darker than the rest of them . Does anybody knows if that is only temporary or is it permanent? Also I read that they are stiff. my Dr said I will be able to bend them with time...but they feel stiff. I,m worried about the color of my toes,it is very unsightly,not very nice to look at. any Dr nurses or knowledgeable person help me? thank you very much

I have really bad feet. I need to work out but after like 10 min. my feet are killing me.
About 10 months ago I had hammertoe surgery.It did not heal properly.So I need some very good shoes.

Thanks for your help!!!!

to hinder their form(growth pattern)?It was hammertoe surgery..2 wks. ago. The special shoes r 2 small but my focus is not how 2 prevent further injury.It's never hurt when I've done it.Stitches r out.When may I stop babying them?What's ur guess on the odds of me screwing them up?My doc's not that helpful so thnx.

I'm getting ready to have surgery on my foot. The orthopedic surgeon said that my problem was from wearing too small of shoes. I went to the shoes store and had my feet fitted...guess what? I'm wearing the RIGHT size. So, went to a podiatrist and he said, no.. I have 3 hammertoes and abunion and a tailor's bunion. So, do you think that the podiatrist just wants to do surgery? Or that the orthopedic guy didn't know what he was talking about? Which is better at handling feet?

I have to have bunion surgery on both feet. Doc is also fixing some hammertoes. As far as I know, doc doesn't plan on putting any pins in.

I'd like to hear your experience - how bad is the pain afterwards? (on a scale of 1-10, being the worst) When were you finally able to get into a shoe? Drive? Do you recommend doing both feet at once or both at different times? Any other recommendations?
