Hey, all! This is my first post (insignificant addition), and I want to know whether something my parents belive is a myth or not. Here goes:
True or False:
After Bunion surgery, (or any constructive foot surgery) the patient forever walks with a limp, or, they are unable to walk normal ever again.
Your serious answers will be so appreciated!
Thank you!

The point of the surgery IS to walk better. The problem that most people encounter is the post-operative period of about a month where they need to stay OFF the foot that was operated on. After healing, the improvement shows.

a bunion surgery, highly unlikely
if you broke your ankle really bad and you need surgery then I would say yes.
Knee surgery's, hips, or any broken bones in the leg all these are total 100% recovery.

It's TOTALLY A 'MYTH' ... generally, 'foot surgery' can STOP people from limping ... not 'start it' ... and that is ANY FOOT SURGERY.
