Bunion and a hammer toe on the right foot.
What did your pain or other symptoms prevent you from doing?
Prior to surgery, I was unable to wear a number of different shoes due to the bunion and the hammer toe, which were both getting progressively worse. Also, it was very unsightly.
Why did you choose Dr. Neufeld and Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Center?
Dr. Neufeld is highly regarded as a top foot surgeon by his peers and the medical community.
What procedure/treatment did you have done?
A minimally invasive bunionectomy and a repair of the hammer toe, release of the tendon was performed.
How did you feel after your treatment?
I experienced pain at the surgical site which was expected. The prescription medication helped with the worst of the pain for the first 48 hours, then Motrin alleviated the discomfort for the next few days.
Do you have any advice for other patients?
If you have many stairs in your home, like I have, prepare your area ahead of time, set up what you might need prior to surgery.
