I had my bunions operation 8 months ago and my feet still hurt especially after a day at work where I have to stand a lot .

Also, I still can t wear just any shoes I like so life is quite difficult and I am disappointed it is taking so long

Does anybody have the same experience ?

    I was told it can take up to a year for the feet to fully recover. I'm sure you are wearing comfy soft bendy shoes. Don't give up hope just yet 😊
