Question
Hello, I had surgery on my foot a couple of weeks ago and i was wondering if it was normal for my toe to still have no feeling. I had a bunionectomy, and removal of a sesasmoid bone. I run track and i was in alot of pain so it was needed. Right underneath the toe nail, i cant feel anything still. I was a bit worried because the surgery was no where near the big toe.

Any foot numbness or discomfort post-operatively should be discussed with the surgeon, since they are th person who did the bunionectomy. Don't wait to call them.
