Hello again : )

The big toe joint is still slightly red and swollen at approx 4 weeks post op. The middle toe was wired back into joint, nicely healed with very little swelling. I get arch pains when walking as well. Should I be concerned or does the bunion surgery take longer to heal.

Thanks

    Hi

    Joints and bones take a long time to heal.

    I had a lot done to left foot, quoted a year to 18months to fully heal. just bunion on right foot minimum three months to heal.
