I had a cheilectomy on 3/21/14.  I have had some complications.  I can not bend my toe down.  Does anyone know why that would happen.  I have been stretching it for 4 weeks.

      I have been in PT 3 times a week since 5/23/14.  I have been doing the exercises at home too.  The PT has said I might not get movement back.    I was just wondering if this has happened to anyone else.

    Hi Steph

    How are you getting on now with your Cheilectomy. I had bilateral revision surgery Cheilectomy 8 weeks ago and still have pain and swelling at times. How is yours doing now 12 months plus?
