I’m 3 1/2 months post surgery had hammertoe correction too now 3rd toe is going into 2nd toe. Haven’t been back to dr. Trying spacers hope they work. Luckily no pain but still numb. I hope all goes well for you.

I’m so sorry. I understand the frustration. I have had to have 3 surgeries on one foot. It took me about a year to feel okay, and I’m still a bit painful. 😣

I’m sorry for you. I also need a second surgery. Apparently, the surgeon didn’t repair my planter plate tear properly. Now I’m having to find a new surgeon for a complete planter plate tear. And he also thinks I have a neuroma. Waiting for ultrasound to confirm. It’s disheartening to say the least. My first surgery was last December. I vetted my surgeon fully … interviewed 3 and the one I chose was highly recommended 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ Best you you.

Yes it’s confirmed, but my surgeon is no longer w practice. She recommended a surgeon in another practice “one she would use if needed” I went yesterday and scheduled Revision Shave some bone from bunion big toe, fix 2nd toe and shots for plantar fasciitis and area. Between pinky toe where some muscle tightening and Remove plate and all hardware screws Go home with big bandage and medical foot sandal Told me 90-90% this plan will go as planned If the fusion is still required from original surgery then she will need to plate and cast Please pray plan a goes well
