The surgery went well, however, I was in more pain than the podiatrist lead me to believe. The wedge shoe that was given to me caused the pain to become unbearable and pain killer medications needed to be used. The best thing is to STAY OFF YOUR FEET!

I had MN surgery Sept. 12th. I am still wearing my "shoe" and am not allowed to be on my feet longer than ten minutes at a time. I am also not allowed to put any weight on the ball of my foot. I don't and never did have alot of pain or swelling. I get my stitches out Thurs. and am kinda anxious to find out if I can return to work. How in the world did you go back so soon after surgery? Did the Dr. release you? No wonder you still have pain. Take a week off now, take care of your foot! Hopefully you haven't harmed it by putting weight on it so soon after surgery. I have been sitting on my butt for 2 weeks now. And hopefully mine is healing like it should. Now watch....I will be the one with complications!! Good luck to you.
