You are the type of doctor that gives me confidence in is this procedure as well as knowing the qualifications surgeons need just to preform this surgery. Thank you.

I've just had minimally invasive bunion surgery on my right foot (today is day 5 of recovery) using the chevron method and my post op has been really good. I only took painkillers for the first two days and am now on the last day of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medication. My bunion was quite large and swollen and I had been feeling lots of discomfort in the ball of my foot, including pain, tingling and burning. I had only been able to wear sandals for over a year and now look forward to being able to wear regular shoes again.

Wishing you the best in your recovery!

When were you able to wear normal shoes again?

[@araujolc]

@isaacarl0s After about 3 months. Four months after my surgery my foot is still swollen and my toes have little mobility.
Maybe it's because the doctor did 5 osteotomies.
