After bunion surgery is hospital stay necessary?


It is not absolutely necessary but most people prefer staying overnight for their peace of mind and comfort.


How much surgical pain is there usually and for how long?
Obviously each individual case can be different to some extent, but most people have moderate pain for no longer than first 24 hours after surgery and it can usually be controlled by oral pain killers. Injection is not usually needed.


When will I be allowed and able to walk?
Walking is allowed and possible anytime after surgery, although there may be slightly more pain for the first few days.


Do I need crutches?
They are optional but most people find them useful for their security and comfort for the first week after surgery.


When can I wet my feet for bathing?
About 10 days when the wound is healed.
