The main reasons for continued pain 3 months after bunion surgery may include nerve damage, infection or overcorrection. 1. Nerve damage: The incision is close to the nerves or improper postoperative care can damage the nerves around the incision, resulting in numbness or pain, which usually lasts for 3 to 6 months. 2. Infection: Premature weight bearing or environmental factors can lead to infection in the surgical area, causing long-term pain. 3. Overcorrection: Deviation from the surgical plan can lead to overcorrection of the affected area, causing aggravation of the deformity and long-term pain, but this is generally rare. If you are still experiencing pain 3 months after bunion surgery, it is recommended that you go to a regular hospital for a clear explanation of the cause and follow the doctor’s instructions for standardized treatment in order to avoid delays in your condition.
