I had a cheilectomy for Hallux rigidus 2 months ago. The 1st part of
recovery was pretty typical. Great healing of the scar and good post-op
examinations. I grab my big toe (as I was told to by my surgeon) and
pull it back with good mobility and little to moderate pain. My concern
is in the past few weeks I have noticed little improvement. I can not
wear dressy shoes, I still limp when my toe begins to bend in stride
and generally I'm nowhere near normal. I guess I'm beginning to panic
because the stiff toe pain was more livable then this. Does anyone know
how long it might be until I can feel that the surgery was the right
decision? The only work out I can even imagine at this time is pilates.
I am anxious to get back to Yoga(lots of toe use) and cardio exercise.
