Big toe fusion surgery

I had a big toe fusinon done 3 years ago and I still have swelling and it feels like I am walking on a ball, when I first had it done, that was not the surgery the doctor told me he was going to do (I found him on the internet and he had some good reviews) however, on the morning of the surgery he told me that he would have to do a fusion of the toe because when he was looking at my xrays the night before he noticed I had a lot of inflamation, after the surgery he told me that he had to put in a plate and seven screws, I was having a difficult time and each time he told me it will get better and told me not to make any more appointments unless something severe was bothering me, so in January of this year I was referred to another orthopedic by my PC and he took one look and said that I did not need the fusion and secondly the reason for my problem and swelling was because my nerves were being compressed by the plate and screws and he would have to go in and remove them to decompress my nerves, so August this year it was done but he was only able to remove the plate and six of the screws because the seventh one was buried too deep, since the removal I had theraphy and doing better except I still feel like I am walking on a ball because of the fusion of the toe and I never was able to do the weight bearing properly.  He was very nice during my inital visit and consultation, but after the surgery and I was having so much problems and going to see him his attitude changed, I would never recommend him to anyone.
