I had bunion surgery on my right foot in March 2017. Approximately 4 months post op, I started have pain along the bottom of my foot (2nd and 3rd metatarsal heads). I had pain in my 2nd toe after surgery and told my surgeon 6 weeks post op. He said that was normal since he reattached a ligament. It's not a sharp pain but more of an ache especially if I move or bend it. I've been back twice....had X-rays, diagnosed with metarsalgia and had an injection in the joint of the 2nd toe. I've also had custom orthotics which I feel make the pain worse. The pain has not diminished. My doctor suggested shortening the 2nd metatarsal bone. After some research, I don't feel more surgery is an option.
