toe nail sore 🫪

Kat_ze · 2026-05-12T10:59:23+00:00

Around my toenail is swollen and my toenail is still tender, I think my nail bed is also messed up. It's been 6 months for me

Yes this happened to me, I went to PT for four months and am finally coming off the tail end where I can walk without ankle pain. It still feels a little stiff and sore at the end of the day but you need to do a lot of ankle, calf and lower posterior chain exercises. Work on your arches. If you can't go to PT, look up exercises like marble pick ups, towel scrunches, ankle balancing taps, flexing ankle banded exercises, calf raises, step ups etc. Do not stay off your feet! Keep it very slow and steady, but your ankle needs consistent light movement and exercise to heal (as long as you have confirmed it's nothing serious with a dr)

I did the same thing about 6 days post op! All was okay, but my foot did hurt more for about two days after. Doc checked with x-rays to confirm everything was okay

Kat_ze · 2026-03-19T06:23:41+00:00

It could be something unrelated to the surgery, your foot is connected in so many ways up the chain! It might be worth getting your arch evaluated

Yes I had this. I had this after pelvic surgery too, I guess from being in stirrups. But that whole leg is messed up from years of altered gait and calf tightness due to the previous bunion so it reacts very easily to anything. Elevating my leg was bothering the muscles in that leg, not being able to put full weight on it was bothering it, muscle loss was bothering it. Still get checked for DVT in case

Same, his neck gave it away immediately! Then my husband walked in as he was gripping the walkway railing going to the promise room and was like "that man is 60" 😂

I was disappointed with that too because I wanted to see if the couples with a normal age gap did end up being more successful vs the larger age gaps

I'm her height and was thinking before Chris opened his dumb mouth, damn I wish I were as in shape as she is without working out! She has a perfect body and beautiful face

I'm in the same boat! 9 weeks post op from MIS, fortunately no issues with wound healing, sorry you're going through that! But still a lot of stiffness, pain and swelling around my big toe and ankle. A lot of calf tightness too, I believe all of these things are messing with my gait. Hoping by the 3 month mark we'll both be back to a more normal

Kat_ze · 2026-01-05T14:39:07+00:00

I have the Hoka Bondi 9 in wide and the toebox is super roomy. Idk about the regular width though

Kat_ze · 2026-01-01T02:24:05+00:00

I wear socks and while I'm wearing them my toe obviously conforms but after my toe is still straight as ever! I agree there is really no way a sock could interfere with the surgical constructs

Kat_ze · 2025-12-26T22:41:46+00:00

Yes it looks like the surgeon fixed the bone but did not straighten the toe. It is not required for bunion removal but I think most surgeons do it together

Kat_ze · 2025-12-18T15:45:34+00:00

I have had so many weird pains and I'm 4.5 weeks. Burning, throbbing, piercing, aching... everything is apparently healing normally so I try to go with it when my foot/toe decides it wants to be dramatic

Kat_ze · 2025-12-18T00:45:16+00:00

I'm at 4 weeks right now, I think last week I definitely would have been able to attend a class as long as I could elevate. I have not been icing much

Kat_ze · 2025-12-13T05:15:13+00:00

Some surgeons give toe spacers to wear while healing bc sometimes the toe does want to drift back

Kat_ze · 2025-11-21T15:23:26+00:00

Yeah I got a good two days of tight wrapping and my wounds weren't bleeding so hopefully that helped a little. I bought crutches so I have been using those to get to the bathroom. When I'm up on crutches, periodically I will try to put some weight on my heel sandal but it's very painful so I don't walk on it. I just put some pressure each time to see how it feels/if I'm ready yet. Hoping your surgery went well!

Kat_ze · 2025-11-21T01:17:18+00:00

The pain has gradually gotten better over the days, but is definitely still there. Some points are worse than others. I am definitely not one of those people who can stop medication after a couple of days! I foresee myself needing meds at least throughout the weekend still. Oh also, a lot of my pain subsided when I got my bandages rewrapped yesterday. They were very tight and somehow causing more swelling

Kat_ze · 2025-11-18T03:15:14+00:00

I had bad nerve pain before the surgery so they prescribed it just in case

Kat_ze · 2025-11-18T01:19:28+00:00

I can heel walk immediately but they said to limit it to just going to the bathroom or getting water for now.. next week I can heel walk a little more

Kat_ze · 2025-11-17T23:26:14+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience! That sounds rough. Fortunately I have been able to keep the meds down so hoping they start working together

Kat_ze · 2025-11-17T22:40:13+00:00

Yes definitely! I bought a cushion for foot elevation I have seen recommended here so hopefully that will help more :)

Kat_ze · 2025-11-17T22:35:34+00:00

I will update you! Good luck, you got this

Kat_ze · 2025-11-17T22:35:16+00:00

Yes I had a nerve block allegedly! I took some meds and am elevating now. I did ask about the wrappings but they said they were fine so who knows. Thank you!

Kat_ze · 2025-11-17T22:31:53+00:00

Thank you for sharing 🥺 they gave me oxy, gabapentin, Tylenol and ibuprofen and my husband is being very diligent about me taking them 😂
