Suggest Treatment For Persistent Foot Pain After A Surgery

Posted on Thu, 16 Feb 2017

Question: Thanks. It is foot pain in my right foot. Pain is across the ball. I had surgery tow years ago on my left foot for bunion and hammertoe. The surgeon inserted a pin to straighten the second toe. I use a Budin Splint on my left foot which keeps the toe straight. (IT was straight after surgery but is slipping over.) The right foot pain is similar and I am using A Budin Split there allows me to walk better but it is still a dull pain with each step. No pain if just sitting. I have a podiatrist appointment in March-don't really wante another surgery.

Buprenorphine

Detailed Answer:
Hi there

Thanks for the query

The pain can be managed with Buprenorphine patches of it is difficult for you to tolerate, otherwise go for Acetaminophen/Paracetamol 650mg twice a day for pain relief.

Only surgery to fuse the joints may help to relieve the pain completely.

I hope I have answered your query.

I will be available to answer your follow up queries.
