i am having very intesnse pain when I put my foot Dow and through the night.. I had a joint replacement in my other foot at end of March and that still gives a bit of pain , but not like this! I have been very nauseous with strong pain relief...

I had a lapidus procedure done in the US 5 years ago on my right foot and it still gives me pain. i recall that my foot was extremley swollen following surgery and i cried for about two weeks in pain. when the swelling started to go down, my pain did as well. please be patient and stay off the foot to let it heal. this procedure is a very very painful experience and i will not have my left foot done... ever...
hang in there... it gets better but it hurts like hell!
