Hi hippies

While very happy happy with hippy op some six months ago and my recovery, something odd...

The toes on op leg seem to be distorting and sticking together, strange.

Physio says I may need spacers between toes, but wondering if anyone else had had this, and what they did about it!.Mic

    good morning Mic, 

    wow, that is interesting ... can you control them? move your toes? 

    If it doesn't go away, I would make an appointment with GP or your surgeon .. 

    big hug

      Hi, and TY

      It doesn't hurt, and I wiggle my toes apart deliberately now each morning. The physio not concerned, spacers sound like annoyance, but i'll keep wriggling and let you know

    mic, 

    not too long ago you wrote that you might put metallic blue nailpolish (not sure, but this is how I picture your tootsies)on your toe nails ...

    did you?
