    Hi Joel

    I'm probably not much help since I'm only 6 weeks in but the whole side of my foot, including my baby toe, is still numb. I read that for some people it never comes back.

    All very normal Joel. Mine broke 24 march surgery 6 days later from memory. I started back at work today. Painful and a bit swollen. Big toe hurts on and off I think it depends on how you walk. If your limping or not using an Even Up Shoe while using boot it puts strain everywhere. I'm practicing not limping. And applying even weight on each foot. Also being mindful to lift heal off floor when walking. I was going flat foot walk and now need to correct it.  Good luck. Keep in touch this is a good supportive forum.
