I had bunion surgery on my left foot when I was 14.

My leg was in a full cast from knee to foot. I don't think they do that anymore.

Post Op was pretty sore for a few days, but I was up and hobbling around in no time. Can't recall how long I had the cast on. All I know is it was summertime and it felt like an eternity.

I still have a bunion on my right foot. I don't have too many problems with shoes, but it aches a lot and hurts like hell if I bump it. Planning to have it removed in the near future.
