Some doctors do bunion surgery under general anesthesia and it is available if that is what you would prefer. The majority of bunion surgery and the method I prefer is performed with IV sedation and a local anesthetic block called monitored anesthesia care, MAC. This method allows you to sleep while the surgery is being performed and because your foot is numbed up with a local anesthetic while you sleep, you have no pain for several hours following the procedure. MAC is considered safer because unlike general anesthesia you are not intubated and breath on your own.
Should I see a doctor about this?
Yes, you should see a doctor about this. A doctor who specializes in the foot and ankle can help diagnose the problem and has tools to help speed up your recovery.
