    Did your Dr give you pain medication and, also are you putting ice packs on your foot to help reduce swelling. I had my surgery 5 weeks ago. My pain is reduced tremendously, my big toe is still a little swollen and  numb. I stop taking my medication 3 weeks ago and started taking Tylenol extra strength. I am no longer taking them, but I am still keeping my foot elevated . I hope this helps you.
