I got RSD after bunion surgery!!! Depending on the kind of bunion surgery you have things could get very bad. One thing the lawyer told me is I should'nt have had a podiatrist do it I should have had orthopedic do it. I also got and infection two weeks after and that very well could have caused the RSd. They don't know what caused it but my life has changed after bunion surgery. Do lots of research and talk to many doctors!! Has a dr said they would do surgery on your rsd feet for bunions? Wow i would NOT do it...
