A member asked:

Will i be able to wear a tennis shoe or dress shoe 1 week after surgery for removal of a pea size ganglionic cyst at the back of the big toe joint?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Check with the surg-: Eon, as he would be the only one to know whats best for you. I would not want my patient to do so, so early after the surgery. I would tell them to attend all such events first, then come for surgery, so as to expect a complication-free recovery from it.
