https://community.usms.org/swimming/f/general/12715/foot-surgery--wise-decision-recovery-timeAnother question about a surgery. This time- to cut off a bunion and straighten a big toe. At this stage it is still optional as to whether to go through it. I understand that it is quite painful and the recovery could be long, and it could affect swimmingen-USTelligent Community 12https://community.usms.org/thread/200878?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 19 Feb 2017 01:06:15 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:e18059c3-2d9a-4b0f-a9f0-ae3a2dcfe1c7Old BrsStrkYeah, my big decision is whether to put it off for a year or so, in order that I can get to the magical point of aging up to a new age group and get a few meets in before the surgery. Swimming often controls such decisions.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/200871?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 18 Feb 2017 12:49:35 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:59ce00d5-91a7-4913-ae42-df4d35a33e9aorca1946Make sure everything is healed closed to prevent infection! That would be a very time consuming and scary recovery. Take the time to do it the right way!!<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/200865?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 17 Feb 2017 08:14:27 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:adfaca64-5952-4ea1-b72f-95c2ee6354fbjulieannjohnI&#39;ve had it but on the little toe. Way easier. It was nothing. Easier than a Morton&#39;s Neuroma survey. I couldn&#39;t swim until the steri-strips had fallen off. Hope this helps!<div style="clear:both;"></div>
