Feet swelling?
It’s only been 4 days so I wouldn’t be too concerned. If it continues I would suggest wearing compression socks, you can buy them online at Amazon, this will keep the swelling down. The only thing that concerns me is your age, it’s not real common for people your age to have swollen feet so if it doesn’t resolve I would see a podiatrist. READ MORE

What anesthesia is used for foot surgery?
Most foot surgery is performed using sedation and a local anesthetic. The anesthesiologist will give you a drug through your IV to sedate you, then your surgeon will numb the area while you sleep. For more complex surgeries or surgeries that require a thigh tourniquet your surgeon will order general anesthesia. READ MORE

Are you under general anesthesia for toe bunion surgery?
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. READ MORE
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. READ MORE
