on 2/13/15 I had a bunionectomy and  surgery on 2 hammer toes. I still am unable to get back into most of my shoes and wear sneakers most of the time. I am still experiencing pain on and off through the day, and swelling.. Why is this?

    I was the same at your stage.  Difference to people recover at different rates.  I am mainly in trainers at 18 weeks although recently got into clerks perri dune sandals which are really flexible and comfy. Swelling can go on up to a year I hear so don't worry.  It is a slow recovery......
