Must consult surgeon: Whenever a patient is concerned about a surgery it is important to tell the surgeon right away and not wait until a possible problem becomes too serious. You can also get some piece of mind.

Rest and relax: The amount of pain following bunion and hammertoe surgery may vary depending on how you take care of your foot following the surgery. Immediately after surgery your best bet would be to rest and elevate your feet. Post operative pain will be less if you limit the swelling by elevating the feet. Take the pain medication as needed and as recommended.
