How long it takes to walk after toenail removal depends on the specific recovery situation, most patients can walk 1-2 weeks after surgery. Nail removal surgery is mostly used for the treatment of nail infections. If the local infection is absorbed quickly, the swelling subsides, and the pain is relieved, the patient can walk about 1 week after the surgery; if the local infection is heavy, despite the nail removal surgery, there is still local fluid and pus accumulation, and the pain is still obvious, the patient needs to strengthen the anti-infection treatment and can walk about 2 weeks after the surgery. At the early stage of walking after surgery, patients are advised to choose loose, breathable cloth shoes or slippers to keep the wound relatively dry so as to avoid aggravation of local bacterial infection or irritation of the wound. At the same time, it is necessary to minimize the walking time and elevate the lower limbs when sitting in order to promote blood circulation in the legs and feet. In addition, patients also need to avoid spicy and irritating foods to facilitate postoperative recovery.
