I am into my 13th week since I had my right foot reconstructed. The big toe hasn't healed properly - two nodules were showing prominently on the last xray - The pain has been severe - nerve damage, I guess. I talked to a lady who had bunion surgery so she could wear pretty shoes (I just wanted to walk again! My foot was so deformed) and she is still in pain after a year. 

 

So I just wonder if anyone else has had reconstruction surgery (not replacement - those seem to go well) and had problems with healing and pain. This was suppose to make it better, and although it looks pretty, I have to wonder if the pain will ever end, and the joint will ever heal. Anyone else with anything to share on this issue?

Ps I tried to add a pic of my old foot before surgery, but it won't download Sorry!
