I just had big toe fusion, 3 hammertoes, and bunion by little toe surgery 3 weeks ago. Today is first day I can put weight on it. Looking to see how recovery will be. Today my foot turned purple by end of day.
Hi
How long ago is " just". I'm still non weight bearing after five weeks. They've also told me to keep my foot up for as much as possible. For the first two weeks it was down just long enough to go to the bathroom.
The idea is to stop it turning purple which usually indicates swell.
I've just seen three weeks! Think you still might have overdone it.
I'm 5 weeks post op big toe fusion and 2/3rd toes weils osteotomy....... I'm im a surgical shoe along with a plaster cast. I'm getting about I'm walking flat footed but only for a few minutes. My foot swells and toes go a purple colour......
Forth foot operation and all quite normal.
It was 3 weeks Friday. I had been on a scooter till then but they said I can be weight bearing now. In a rocker boot. Harder than I had thought. Yes .. last night it was very purple but this morning back to normal. Thanks so much for answering.
Thank you. I guess I just need to slow down. It sounds like a longer practice than I had thought.
