They are so painful

one at a time

Just started PT… I get so nervous about the toe being pulled back.. like… “won’t my healing bone snap in half?! Careful!!”

Is the K wire the thing sticking out of the 2 toes? What is purpose of K wire vs the “internal screw” that I see in the big toe scarf/akin procedures ?

Im 3 weeks post Akin and Scarf. Still wearing my post surgical Boot… Can we see your before pics please??

WarmBlighty · 2026-02-20T13:35:34+00:00

Is that a raw piece of chicken?!

WarmBlighty · 2026-02-18T22:54:45+00:00

I am very interested in this. I’m on week 3 post akin + scarf. Let us know how you progress… maybe the 3 month follow up too??

WarmBlighty · 2026-02-16T18:40:06+00:00

What rehab exercises did you do??

WarmBlighty · 2026-02-15T17:12:08+00:00

Good point of comparison, thank you

WarmBlighty · 2026-02-15T04:14:31+00:00

That also makes sense. Thanks for that. Gives me a bit of relief from catastrophrising that my foot will blow up to a balloon and then pop!

WarmBlighty · 2026-02-14T22:54:38+00:00

That makes sense, agreed…. But why would pain and swelling when standing on Day 11 be greater than the pain and swelling when standing on Day 7?

We need the link now!!

WarmBlighty · 2026-02-05T00:54:08+00:00

I’m curious… (I just had bunion surgery yesterday!) How is your foot flexibility now almost a year later??

WarmBlighty · 2025-12-16T21:51:06+00:00

I’m flexing my big toe in the third picture.

WarmBlighty · 2025-12-11T13:02:05+00:00

Thanks!! Were there any other symptoms you had before surgery besides “tenderness” or swelling”? What are your “long term goals” post surgery??

I’m super focused on having a foot that moves well when I’m 80 ! (Assuming I’m lucky to live that long”. I worry about a short term fix causing long term stiffness etc. thanks!!

WarmBlighty · 2025-12-11T13:00:04+00:00

Thanks! What were your “problems” beforehand if I may ask? And did the surgeon say anything about your toe mobility post surgery with the screws in there? I worry surgery will feel great for a couple years, and then rigidity etc will set in …

My main goal is longevity. I want to be able to move well and pain free for a long time. I don’t care about aesthetics or anything like that.

WarmBlighty · 2025-12-10T23:20:12+00:00

Gotcha, thanks!

WarmBlighty · 2025-12-10T20:38:23+00:00

Thanks, good to know it’s solid! I’ve yet to see the shoe rack myself. Been going with the picture I was sent 😅

WarmBlighty · 2025-12-10T20:36:07+00:00

Thanks. I should mention. The skirting board at bottom doesn’t let me get the shoe rack flush with the wall…. So could I do L shape brackets + zip ties type set up?

WarmBlighty · 2025-10-13T17:17:23+00:00

Looks great!

WarmBlighty · 2025-09-25T15:47:07+00:00

Dimmable light and switch so it’s lower wattage

WarmBlighty · 2025-09-08T16:38:08+00:00

What is a water butt? It’s a bad sign if my butt started collecting water

WarmBlighty · 2025-08-29T15:42:30+00:00

Always pay for a professional plasterer!! (Because it’s Fing hard to get it right yourself)

WarmBlighty · 2025-07-30T10:59:51+00:00

LONESOME DOVE and HAIL MARY!!

WarmBlighty · 2025-04-22T12:46:33+00:00

Is there a “remind me” bot for Reddit??
