Can I walk after bunion surgery?

YES! Of course you will be able to walk after bunion surgery. The more important question is WHEN. In some procedures, walking immediately after surgery is possible with use of a protective boot. There are some bunion procedures that require you to be splinted or casted and in these cases you may need to keep weight off your foot for 1-2 months. Talk to your doctor to find out what procedure is recommended any you will get a more clear idea what your experience may be.
