A member asked:

17 mo post op bunionectomy surgery. still have tingles and numbness/stiffness feeling on outer side of toe area. my surgeon says normal & gave motrin ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

POST-OP: If you notice gradual improvement, it should continue to get better. But it sounds like that's not the case. On a scale of 1-10, 10 worst, how bad is it? Maybe it's time for a 2nd opinion.
