toe fusion
Posted , 5 users are following.
I had my 5 week check up and x rays today after having big toe fusion on Nov. 20th. My DR said the bone is just starting to fuse. I am wearing the orthopedic boot and can't wait to get out of it after 6 weeks, he said I can try a shoe on Dec. 31.
It does take a lot of patience for an active person like me who loves to hike and walk everyday. The worst seems to be that my other leg is hurting from walking so weird with the boot.
I hope it is all worth while in time!

I do however have a problem in that my hospital outsourced the op from another hospital ( great hospital wish it was my main one) and they only requested the bunion toe was done so even though the surgeon wanted to do the hammer toes he couldn't so now I have fantastic big toe but can't walk because the hammer toes curl under my foot meaning , now they don't have 'lift' from the bunion, that every step is agony.
I do recall the podiatrist at main Hosp saying the toes would probably straighten when bunion went and thinking to myself that she was a dreamer....
Now waiting appointment for the non magical hammer toes to be sorted then my other foot...gonna be a long road I am trying work out how to post photo .
