Scarf osteotomy - Stiffness
Posted , 6 users are following.
Hi All. I had a Scarf osteotomy back in October and only started walking on my foot 3 weeks ago, following various problems with the healing process but I am finding it really uncomfortable walking as the joints across the toes have become stiff and sore and when the toes are flexed it really is quite painful. Has anyone else experienced this and how long does this last for. Just wondering what time frame in am looking at. I am walking in flat boots and trainers so I am not putting any unnecessary pressure on the foot.

the op, when things felt more uncomfortable than painful. I also suffer
with pain and stiffness in my toes which also still swell on a regular
basis especially if I've over done things. I'm back wearing my training
shoes when I leave the house but have to remove these and change into crocs when I'm home as they are the only shoes I feel comfy wearing.
I can't walk bare foot as it feels like I've got golf balls under my feet and my feet feel really cold at night so I wear fluffy socks to bed, something I could never do pre op, hated anything on my feet in bed.
I put it down to recovery being a long road and the fact that I'm on my
feet all day and no longer elevate. I have an appointment to see a
podiatrist next week so hopefully they can give advise on how I'm
progressing.
