Anyone else find themselves walking thru side of their foot rather then thru the toes cos its painful but now…

You have to think through each step carefully and make sure you are walking slowly enough to push off through your big toe.

I am finding it difficult to walk through my toe trying to do it just wondering if having the two screws in my foot have made a difference but I also have artititis in my big toe joint .

I’m 8 weeks post op too and before surgery I was walking mostly on my heels as my toes was hurting and rubbing, and now I try to walk slow and concentrate to walk correctly, but my right feet still goes on the side

This surgery definitely takes patience. You are going to run into other issues if you walk on the side of your foot. My physical therapist would have a fit if I told her I did that. Your bone is still healing. It is going to hurt. Call your surgeon and ask for a referral to physical therapy please. I am seeing one once a week and it is really helping. She has explained so many things to me. Surgeons need to do a better job on the "healing" end of this. They are great at doing the surgery but not so much after in my experience. I am 10+ weeks out now. I had to ask for a referral to PT. So glad I did. I can almost walk normally again without limping which is bad for my knee, hip, and back. If I limp at all, I grab my crutch. I use it on the non-surgerical side. I definitely don't want to have this surgery again. Once is enough. Be gentle and kind with yourself. YouTube has some great videos about walking again after being NWB. Best to you.

My surgeon at week 4 said everyone tends to walk on the side of their foot following surgery but told me I had to consciously make sure I was using my foot correctly and walk through my toe. It became much easier once I was in trainers after the kwire was removed at the same appointment.

12 weeks post op walking 1 mile 25 minutes before surgery I struggled for a year walking on the outside of my left foot 🦶 I feel great now looking at the X-ray ouch 😓

yes you are right I found that my surgeon was very good but as for the physio I had to sort that out myself.

Yup same and I am 5 and 1/2 months post op and now I have more swelling and what appears to be an ingrown toenail, although it is not

Same I'm 6 weeks post op and I'm either on my heel or side of foot. The ball of my foot under my big toe is swollen and sore and so is my big toe. I'm consciously stopping myself as it hurts
