A member asked:
Had bunion surgery 13 weeks ago. started to walk and now feeling heel pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bunion surgery, correcting a deformity in the foot that causes the big toe to bend towards the other toes. The procedure requires a period of recovery during which the patient must avoid putting weight on the affected foot. After this period, patients gradually begin to walk again, but some may experience heel pain. This pain may be due to changes in gait or pressure distribution on the foot.
