Stabbing pain post bunion surgery
Posted , 3 users are following.
I had my left foot bunion surgery in NOVEMBER 2018 which as healed fine so far. in January the right foot was operated on. two screws were put in each foot. I AM 6 week post op now and all was well, driving the car and walking further. Suddenly after twisting my foot slightly a sharp pain was felt at the site of the screws. That was a week ago and now the stabbing pain continues, even when my foot is up. I phoned the surgeon for a visit on FRIDAY. Even the slightest movement is very painful. Has anyone else had the same experience or know why this is happening. I feel the pain is worse than just post op. very frustrating. Any advice please.

what did your dr say? I just had my right foot done february 12 , tomorrow is 3 weeks post op for me. i have stabbing pain every now in then under my foot where the nurve is. Have you taken any medicine to try and help the pain and does it help? if the pain isnt going away then i would go to the dr and tell him you want a set of x rays to make sure the screw or bone didnt pop out of place.
