Yeah, bunions get worse.  I'd try to get it sorted while it's young!

About 6 weeks if you stay off of it.  Have you been to a doctor?  You need an orthopedic boot.

This is strictly a decision made by the physician in charge. I have seen recovery after 40 minutes, but most do not go beyond 20-30 minutes with a straight line.

first go to an Ortho surgeon for a second opinion..and you could put ice on it for 20 minutes at 4 hour intervals..

Not at same time, but about two hours apart. Do it all the time when kids have really high fevers. As per dr. orders

Some soreness to the area is to be expected, especially if the entire toe nail was removed.  The 1st metatarsal / phalanx is a major weight bearing region of the foot, and it is hard to walk without putting pressure onto that area.  Best bet is to wear a shoe that has a very rigid sole so you don't have that rolling/pressure motion...or if the Podiatrist provided you with a post surgical hard soled shoe, it is best to wear that as directed.  Also, if wound is still present from the removal, be sure to keep a close watch.  If there is more pain than normal, you notice discharge and you have a temperature and the area is hotter/warmer to the touch, you may want to get in to see your Podiatrist or at least call the clinic sooner than later.  You should also have a routine follow up at some point after the toenail was removed to check your progress and healing.

Hey there, I had the surgery about 5 years ago. The doctor I went through did an 'OKAY' job. One foot looks different then the other...what I mean exactly is...one looks more straight and one looks like i broke my toe a hundred times. What the surgery taught me is to seriously...like yourself..flaws and all because cosmetic surgery is expensive to feel better. \n\nHowever..its an easier time wearing different shoes, the recovery is minimal and even though i was kind of disappointed with my doctor..I still liked having the surgery because it was way better than it was and it isn't so painful to walk around in different shows and for whatever reason I got the surgery..I am HAPPY with the end result. Please just make sure you go to a doctor with great stats and someone who pays attention. I believe my doctor was new and didnt really care. \n\nHope this helps\n\nlala

None, just one foot, if it is the proper size.

Aortic valve replacement recovery is a lot like open heart surgery recovery (indeed most AVR has at least one bypass too).  Recovery is very individual.  It is highly dependent on the shape of the patient PRIOR to the surgery.  People who were largely sedentary, have multiple concurrent diseases (diabetes, kidney insufficiency, COPD, etc) tend to take even longer than the average to recover - likewise healthy active people tend to bounce back from the surgery.  \n\nRegardless it will take 12 months before your FIL is fully recovered.  The first month is the worst and progress is typically slow.  The next few months also have a steep curve but it gets increasingly better.  He should be about 90% at six months.  The next six months with garner gradual improvements for several more months.\n\nOne mistake people make is that they continue to observe the directions provided them the week after they are discharged from the hospital, months even a year later.   Activity should be "as tolerated."  If you CAN do more, you SHOULD do more. \n\nGentle physicial activity is fine and recommended as tolerated; for instance, with walking, progressively more and more as tolerated, it is very hard to over do it.  On the other hand training for a marathon is over the top.\n\nLifting or carrying very much weight at all (20 pounds or less) is not recommended until at least eight weeks after the surgery.  That gives the sternum time to heal.  Pain with lifting may still be evident months later while the bone continues to heal - but after 8 weeks it is hard to do damage.\n\nIt is common to have plueral effusions - fluid around the lung bases as part of the healing process.  This often causes shortness of breath, reduced appetite, and difficulty breathing with laying flat.  If effusions are present, they can be found by chest xray.  A diuretic (or extra diuretic) can be added to help them resolve.  \n\nWhen appetite comes back, I usually feel like the patient has turned the corner on recovery.  Patients tend to do very well from there on out.\n\nDepression is very, very common after this procedure.  Your FIL should be evaluated by his PCP for this problem.  If evident then it should be treated.  It will make a large difference in the speed of his recovery.  Note:  men sometimes are hostile or angry rather than sad when depressed.\n\nLastly I would encourage your FIL to participate in a cardiac rehab program - even if its a long drive, etc.  It is very important to interact with others who are going through the same thing.  Also it is important to have a professional encouraging your FIL to increase his activity, etc.\n\nI hope this helps.  Good luck.

You don't need a surgery. It depends on your age, say, if you are 10, it is very possible to reduce the size of your feet but not very much. In ancient China, people wrapped women's feet (for years!!) to give a smaller look. The result is their feet deformed (how much depending on your luck) and stopped growing normally. Pain cannot be avoided and they smell. If you are already, say, 25, it still works but you can expect greater pain.\n\nAs a fitness trainer, I do not advocate it.

That is why he sent you home, you may not need the operation at all.  I would go for a second opion though.  I had the same thing happen to me, but I was better in a day or two.  I did not need the operation.  But since you are still in pain go in again. A second opion is always a good thing.  ( if you have insurance to cover it)

I know my mom's boyfriend had surgery on both hands at one time. It took him 6 weeks to recover but he is an only child and expects people to do everything for him. He was also 65 at the time. I am not sure of your age and independance but if it were me I think (33 years) 4 weeks would be fine.

you may have a bone spur or bunion. Should be evaluated by a foot doctor.
