Hi

Hope someone can help i'm now 7 weeks post surgery rt great toe fusion.

Saw registra last week as consultant was away and had xrays but was told joint hadnt yet fused and could be another 4-6 weeks.Was still wearing DACT shoe as i find it to painful to wear normal shoes and I also told him that when my foot placed flat to floor it goes a bluey purple colour and it still painful.

His response was basically grin and bare or buy a bigger shoe size which ive tried but it really is to painful.

When i had my buinion done same foot 4 years ago i fractured and was in moon boot for 12 weeks as bone took a long time to heal.

I have tried speaking to consultant but waiting to hear back from him.

I just dont understand surely if the bone not fused its still fractured and should be in some kind of support feeling very fed up with being in pain
