Foot care

Hi all,

I am eight weeks one day post op, had realignment, fusion and bunionectomy, went out for walk today without my crutches .... I was so pleased and now I can see the progress I am making. The plate and screw are still taking some time to get used to though.

Getting there!

Terri that's great news! Are you still in a Cam boot or a real shoe?

Terri that's great news.😀😀😀It does take time to walk normally again but it's all a step in the right direction. Your foot will let you know if you are over doing it. If it swells ice it and elevate it. 

Good Luckxxx

Thanks Kaliana,

I am not in normal shoes yet, I'm wearing swim shoes which are elasticated so expands with the swelling 😃

Hi Mary,

Thank you, it was a real turning point today, still have a limp but I think that's because I can feel the metal plate and screw !

Good luck to you too 😃
