I had my bunion removed and my big toe pinned and hammertoe surgery on the next two toes as well. 8 weeks on I have just had all pins removed which involved opening up my big toe again. I am now out of the cast and have just started trying to walk still using the crutches.

My doctor said to push my two toes down several times a day but apart from that has given me no exercises or physio. My foot is swollen and I can bend my big toe down slightly but that is all. My two smaller toes do not move and one feels pretty numb.

The surgery went well and I had very little pain but I am wondering if I should seek physio treatment myself. Also is there any reason why I cannot start doing upper body and leg work at the gym to strenghten my muscles.
