I only meant that the actual surgery was painless...meaning that I didn't feel a thing (or really remember anything) during the actual procedure. It took well over 24 hours for the numbness to leave my foot, but once it did, there was significant pain. I had pain for about a week and a half and only recently can I say that I am virtually pain free (except when I step down flat). I had a screw put in my toe after it was realigned after the bunion was removed.
Basically - I just wanted her to know that the surgery itself was nothing to be afraid of. Of course there will be pain...your bone is cut. |
