If do not have pain with my bunion should i still have surgery?

Bunion surgery: It's a tough question to answer. Usually i recommend agains surgery if there is absolutely no pain. If, however, i see signs of the bunion progressing and it will impact the surgical procedure and recovery, i will suggest surgery sooner. You should consult with a podiatrist who can evaluate your unique case and recommend the best course of treatment.

Usually No: If it aint broke dont fix it! bunions are usually only corrected if they become a problem. If they are painful, you have problem with shoe gear are generally what lead to surgical correction. There are other circumstances that can lead to corrective surgery but generally these are the indications for surgery. Visit eastpennfoot.Com and request a copy of our bunion report.

It depends...: Diabetics who may have little or no sensation in their feet may not have the protective mechanism of pain to alert them that there is something wrong. In such people, if the bunion is causing other symptoms such as bruising, blistering, or ulceration, surgical management may be warranted despite the lack of pain in order to prevent future problems.

Daily problems.: You can never get your original foot back with surgery, but if your feet are causing you to change your activities of daily living, or giving you pain on a daily basis, it's time to consider surgery.

No: If there is no pain then the surgery is purely cosmetic.

Bunion: There are a lot of good answers here . Read them over and give this thought. You didn't mention if you were diabetic or not, etc. Speak openly with your prospective surgeon and ask lots of questions
