Bunion surgery with X-Ray updates
I had my first consultation with Dr Bhatia in November 2022, having had the presence of a bunion on my left foot for a number of years. It was becoming increasingly painful during exercise and throbbing at night time, so I made the decision I needed to see a specialist. Dr Bhatia didn’t need to convince me to commit to the surgery, as his excellent track record and comforting manner made me feel confident and at ease to proceed with the Op. I had my surgery on the 24th January 2023, 4 days before my sons 9th birthday! Not ideal timing, but whilst I had to elevate and rest my foot immediately post-op, the surgical shoe allowed me to move around freely and still attend his birthday party. Being a very active person, I was very keen to get back into exercise and my normal routine. During the six weeks when I was still wearing the surgical shoe, I did complete a number of walks, increasing the distance to over 6k only 1 month later (obviously whilst wearing the shoe!). I stopped wearing my surgical shoe on the 7th March and completed my first long walk of 17k on the 19th March, and my first run later that month. All only 2 months post-op. Since then I have been back to normal, undertaking many long walks, including 56k on the 13th May! And back to weight training at the gym. My foot is feeling strong, and it looks amazing. I am extremely pleased with the results. I would highly recommend Dr Bhatia, and can’t thank him enough for fixing my foot!
