has anyone had the problem six months after scarf op, that they can't get their foot into a court shoe , they used to fit me before! I just can't get the joint  into the shoes. It's  left me with a deeper  joint that's not that flexible.  I've just had a trying on session because of holiday coming up..... And only a few pairs fit. All my nice shoes I've thrown back into the cupboard  in disgust and anger. The hot weather does not help the foot.  Anyone else had the same problem?

    Thank you for all your comments. It's comforting to read them .  I just wish I could wave a magic wand to  get everybody  back on their feet.....so to speak. But I still feel like Cinderella 's ugly stepsister trying to get the glass  slipper on..........   Do update  on here how you go on....please.

      Hi Julie..... I also did my research beforehand and read up on Serrapeptase.

      Im now post bunion surgery and taking Serrapeptase 250,000 iu's three times a

      day.... My foot has reduced to it's normal size (9). Serrapeptase is a systemic

      enzyme. That is produced in a capsule form so it passes thru the stomach,(acid) then

      released in the intestines into the blood stream... Passing thru the body until it finds inflamed tissue which it digests.... Wow, I now feel hungry now myself....

      Good luck...

    Hi Anita... Serrapeptase has been found to reduce swelling in inflamed tissue and in scar tissue post operative... I myself am taking currently 250,000 iu's 3 times a day to

    reduce my bunion operation... And my foot has reduced to it's normal size (9)...

    Good luck....
