Ask your Dr: It would be best to ask your surgeon. But probably yes.

X-rays: Bone typically takes 6-8 weeks to heal. Cast boot and crutches are a good call. Also depends on how the x-rays look. Should get back with the surgeon who did the surgery to check on the x-ray progression.

Bunion: The very best person to answer this is your surgeon - as already stated. Only he/she has your x rays and make that determination. Good luck.
