Everyone: Handles pain differently. Why do you "need" your bunions removed? Do they hurt? Are you in pain?

Post op pain: There is some degree of pain and discomfort associated with most surgical procedures. Your doctor will prescribe you medication to ease your pain. If you rest and elevate and follow your doctors instructions you can keep the discomfort to a minimum.
