Yes: Although it has been over 2 months since you have done your bunion surgery it is not uncommon to have pain in the toe for a while longer. Depending on the type of surgery and the amount of swelling after wards, the pain may last 4-6 months. Also bear in mind that your body weight constantly goes on your feet. You should go back and discuss this with the doctor.

Extremely painful: I find it a bit unusual that you describe the pain as extremely painful. Return to your surgeon for an evaluation.
