I had my big toe fused just over two months ago now everything went to plan I had 8 wks off work now back just gradually easing myself in some days my foot is more swollen than others I have a small amount of pain but nothing unbearable my concern is I have pins and needles in my little toes and down that side of my foot right back to my heel since returning to work (I have to wear wellies) has anyone else experienced this or is it just me and do you think I should be concerned x
Hi Deborah,
I'm not sure what a wellie is so I can't help there. But I had my big toe fused April 9th, so 2 weeks yesterday out. I am just beginning to feel some pins and needles in there also, in the other toes I feel like ... not sure what the word is. Maybe numbing, pins and such. But its slight at this point. I also have walked quite a bit on my heel as of late. I got bored! So I could have pushed it some. But tomorrow is my first post op and I am going to see if what I'm feeling is the norm. I'm betting it is!
Best of luck!

HI again Deborah ,
I just had my 2 week post op and asked the doc about my tingling/ pins and needle feelings. Normal.... nerves trying to come back together... Doc said we go through a huge trauma during this surgery and it takes a lot of energy and rest to heal completely .. Doc said to elevate , elevate and more! And ice!! And also, as I want I can fully weight bear.... which is amazing to me. I've been trying but its quite painful still.
We'll get there.
Rose
