I had bunion removal from left foot and toe straightened by Dr Alvey on 2nd January. The staff were excellent and I was looked after well. I was very nervous being awake during the operation but found the experience interesting. I work in a bike shop so I am used to the noise of tools:) Dr Alvey and nurse were reasuring during whole process and it was all over in about 25minutes. I got to see my foot before it was wrapped up. Considering I had 3 bolts the pain is not that bad. Particularly if you are uaed to bunion pain and discomfort.The first 2 weeks is the hardest as you can't do much and have to rest the leg. After 4 weeks I can walk and start wearing shoes again. I am an active person so looking forward to swimming and cycling in a couple of weeks.
