The whole surgury killed me....it was a yr ago, and now the big toe won't go down,and now it's fractured. Now my right foot is starting to hammer up.

Another week on from my post as above, foot still feels very hot and still swollen but now as been massaging and stretching my toes it's definitely getting better and almost touching the floor with just toe movements.
My foot looks a million times better than before surgery. I realise that the recovery time is not 6 weeks it will take a lot longer but I am able to carry on my day to day activities.
I recommend ice packs and Epsom salts. And definitely stretching and massaging of the foot.

Hi, I am in the same situation as you were a year ago and I wonder how things went for you. I am hoping the pain will ease soon but would be good to have an idea of the process.

Hi ,, I had bunion surgery and toes straightened in October 2017 , since having the pin removed in December , I have had numerous infections and the toe next to the big toe is all swollen and purple , I'm waiting to go and see the surgeon again but should this have not went down yet and I should be pain free ?

I have k wires in 2 toes for over 6 weeks, they were removed one week ago. No it didn’t hurt at all, the doctor told me to look away whilst he pulled them out, is all I felt was a slight tugging sensation for about 2 seconds so don’t worry. My toes are still very swollen though and i can’t get my shoes on so wearing flip flops, it’s very very painful to walk as well. I am hoping this doesn’t last much longer

It's been four weeks since hammer toe surgery with pin inserted. Is it normal for hard dead skin to form around the pin insertion site? Thanks.

I had 2nd metatarsal dislocated. Will a broken toe heal without having pin placement? Mine has fallen out after 3 weeks! Got to doc tomorrow! Don't most just tape it?

I had an operation for hammertoe correction 3 weeks ago. I had my stitches out, and my foot was not swollen then but it has been swollen for a week now. I have k wire in three toes. Is that normal?

A friend of mine has been told that her hammer toe requires either amputation or pinning under local anaesthetic. Opted for the latter. How long will recovery last? She lives alone. Has no help at all.

Same thing with me. I would elevate my feet every night. Just got my pin removed today. My toe is swollen and tender. Good luck to you!
