How long should you stay off your feet after a bunionectomy?

After a bunionectomy, it's generally recommended to stay off your feet for at least 1 to 2 weeks to allow for proper healing. During this time, elevating the foot and using ice can help reduce swelling. Your doctor may provide specific guidelines based on your individual recovery progress, so it's important to follow their advice closely. Gradual weight-bearing activities can typically begin a few weeks post-surgery, depending on your healing.
