So tired of the swelling.

So tired of the swelling. I'm almost 8 months post op from Ossiofiber bunion surgery and have tried everything from PT, ice, elevation, compression socks, scar tape, spiky ball massage, lymphatic drainage drops, red light therapy, lymphatic drainage pills and now this massager, which if I keep it on my foot long enough, it does feel that it helps. I have a lymphatic drainage foot massage and new PT next week. Want to see what everyone else is doing and see if anything actually works? No photo description available..

Shared post Ty Pie Annie Lennox was right, because if 🎶sweet dreams are made of this, and who am I to disagree?🎶 😅 I'm sitting at around 5 1/2 weeks post-op... from MIS bunion surgery, and today was like a dream... I always feel a light touch of anxiety before walking because I don't want any contact between my footwear and the incision site. So I took a deep breath and went for a walk in my wide-toe-box sandals (with orthopedic support), but WITHOUT using a protective Band-Aid to cushion my healing incisions. Just like Patti LaBelle & Michael McDonald, I did this 🎶On my own🎶 so I could walk with no pressure and alternate between walking faster or slower, finding my groove on my own terms. I complete all my toe/foot mobility exercises and things can still feel a little "tight" sometimes, and to the untrained eye, I probably look like I'm walking normally? But more importantly, my confidence is increasing. I can now use light/medium dumbbells for some exercises without the need for a chair... but I thought with all the core work I've been doing, Calvin Klein was going to call me for the summer ad campaign! 😅 It's worth mentioning that at about 2 weeks post-op, I noticed random light patches of skin near the incision site, and I was shedding so much skin (especially over where my old bunion used to reside) that I had to double-check it wasn't midnight and I wasn't howling at a full moon. Everything seems to have settled, and I think my obsession with moisturizing, drinking water, quality sleep, and listening to Louis Armstrong's "Wonderful World" helps a lot.
