I had an osteotomy 13 weeks ago at the base of my 2nd toe in the left foot along with excision of a neuroma. At the same time I elected to have a right bunionectomy with 2nd toe resection. At the 6 week post op visit the pins were removed from the 2nd toes and the left one broke off. Xrays show it to be encapsulated by the bone (not in the joint). Now 7 weeks later the right foot with the extensive work is great but the left one hurts at the base of the 2nd toe. The surgeon said it was inflammation but it is swollen more than the other one and much more painful. I have started back on my Mobic with no change. I do not fault the surgeon. I just want to know if it's usually requiring another surgery to remove it? Thank you
