Hi I'm just wondering if anyone else is struggling with painful swelling of big toe and upper part of foot after nearly four months. I struggled to get foot ware but have now found an expensive pair of Sketcher furry boots.

If I massager the first digit of my big toe its as if something clicks in there ..Maybe its a capsule or tissue healing ? Just like to know what to expect.

    I am also four months post op and my feet are still quite swollen and sore and yes my big toe also clicks when massaged! So I think it is quite normal. Surgeon said it can take up to a year but mostly people are ok by six months.
