    Well how strange is this, I knocked the dog bowl over last night(don't ask), and have been awake since 3am with a very sore and swollen big toe, and yep my bad foot! It's now 7am and not getting any better, I'll give it a few hours and see what happens. Good luck with your recovery 🌸

      hi jane, sorry only just seen your message.... omg dont it hurt, i know how you felt, i must say my toe hurt and was swollen for quite a few days and i am getting an dull pain most of the time at the moment, and yes i can relate to the night time, i had the foot in the bed out the bed, on pillows but it was like a nagging pain that would not shift.... i hope your feeling better, its a slow recovery jane as we all know but at times i must say i think its all been abit much far more than what my surgeon said it would be.... take care and i wish you a speedy recovery x
