Archive date 0 archived replies

So 15 weeks post op right foot.... Back in trainers and saw consultant today who is happy with progress. Took x-ray of left foot to assess for surgery... my big toe is arthritic. But he will do surgery and pin toe so am now waiting for date (about 2-3 months) for 2nd surgery. Louise Yogini Day 30 post-op. I join the group of those of us who did to much too soon this past weekend. Lunch and dinners out, a gentle yoga class, errands and grocery shopping left me in a lot of pain last night. I used my cold therapy machine all night, cycling 20 minutes on and 20 minutes off. Back at my desk today working, elevating my foot under the desk in my Croc house shoe. Took an Aleve and am trying to rest my foot as much as possible before starting PT on Wed.

My bunion was not extreme but my big toe was overlapping the second toe causing pain. This is day 2, not quite 48 hrs. I had an accident. I had to wash and change the bedding and clean the bathroom. I was alone. I was on my feet walking with a quad cane for at least 2 hrs. I haven't had any pain or I wouldn't have been able to clean up the mess. What kind of damage may I have done by being on my Corrinne Shaw So, I had surgery back on July, Wednesday the 8th and was back to the hospital on the 13th to deal with the wire that had worked its way out of toe 3. I was told this isn't that uncommon. It happens about 30% of the time, and even if it were to come all the way out, the new method of doing this surgery doesn't use wires at all. Anyway, my ortho surgeon cleaned my toe, clipped the wire and redressed the foot with orders to contact the hospital again if I see anymore wire.
