What To Expect

The Journey

I am sharing my journey from start to finish to provide that little extra help for those looking for information and are either thinking of having cheilectomy surgery or have planned the date already.

I hope to help answer or at least shed some light on questions such as these:

  • Is Cheilectomy Surgery Painful?
  • How Long does it take to Recover from a Cheilectomy?
  • How is a Cheilectomy Performed?
  • Can You Walk After Bone Spur Surgery?
  • Should I Have a Cheilectomy?
  • When Can I Walk after Cheilectomy?
  • Is Hallux Rigidus Surgery Successful?
