<s>[INST] Hi I tripped just 2 days after having a bunionectomy and I ended up putting all of my weight on the foot which had just been operated on. It hurt like hell and I was wondering if there s a chance I didn t ruin the entire procedure by doing this. As far as I know there are no metal pieces in my foot. I was wearing the surgical boot and bandage at the time so there was some support, but not as much as a typical cast. [/INST] The chances are that everything will be just fine. No major setbacks are anticipated. if the pain level starts to increase further I would make an appointment to see your surgeon. Take simple pain meds like Tylenol or ibuprofen and the pain should settle. Elevating the leg will also help. Hang in there. I'm sure you'll make an excellent recovery. best wishesAdrian Rawlinson MD </s>
