hello everyone.  I was just wondering when people felt they could walk normally again after a bunion procedure?  I know all ops are different but I have heard a range of comments up to a year before a full recovery is felt.

i am definitely still limping at 10 weeks and as I get a dull ache in the base of my toe if I try to walk completely normally I am guessing it will be a while yet!
