Advice please

here is the name of the clinic in Alicante that i had both bunnions removed( severe). and 2 hammer toes on each foot straightened.

San Roman Clinic in Alicante.

I walked out of the clinic on my own with the help of post surgical shoes.

I was unfortunate, in the sence that i got an infection in one of my feet, but it cleared up with antibiotics.

I could walk, all be it slowly, and have been able to look after myself since.

Im 5 weeks post surgery now, still wearing post surgical shoes, but well on the mend. I go back to Spain next week, 40 days after the surgery and they will remove bandages and xray and all going well I should be able to wear sports shoes for a few months before venturing into ordinary shoes.

Its a private clinic so you have to pay for the surgery.

ps.

they may not be able to do anything with the botched foot but they will for the other.

Hope this was of some use.

Dear Lynn

You may have also had nerve damage from the botched operation. Best of luck with your future surgery. If your surgeon tells you to wear a silicon spacer between your toes after the stiches are removed keeping your big toe straight, please be careful doing so because it will leave a wide wedge space after your bones have set making it difficult wearing flip flops as the gap will be too wide securing it between your toes. This is what happened to me causing my foot being a bit wider and now on December 6 I'm having a bunionette operation which narrows the foot from the small toe and having four hammer toes broken and wired keeping them straight. I'm also very nervous having surgery but it must be done. I would not being going through this if I hadn't of used the spacer between my toes for six weeks. Not happy at all. Wishing you the very best of luck!
