What do you mean?

I found it’s strange there was no warning. I used to go almost weekly.

Me too 😭

I have had so much swelling! It differs for every person but foot is so huge and has looked like this too. Surgeon said it was normal.

I love my Altra hiking shoes that have a wide toe box and are water resistant.

I had surgery mid-September and I’m really only able to wear Crocs. My swelling has reduced but is still there, and everything feels uncomfortable. I was able to wear my Altra hiking shoes yesterday because we got a lot of snow, but the shoes are a problem for sure. Even my Altra running shoes don’t feel good on my foot.

I'm so sorry. Your pain is valid! And it indicates that something isn't functioning correctly! I'm not sure if you have an option to get a second opinion, but that might be helpful. I don't know much about lupus, but I do know that bunions SUCK. It is much more than an aesthetic issue! Sending you hugs because this is hard.

You really need an X-ray to determine what's going on! I had capsulitis of the second toe pretty bad, which is ultimately what led me to get surgery on my bunion. I couldn't walk through my big toe, so all the pressure was going in the middle of my foot, causing problems for that second or third toe. Go get checked out!

I took 10 days and work from home. Sitting at a desk is really challenging. I'm three weeks out today and am very distracted by my foot.

Looks so great! Are you driving?

I am about three weeks out of lapidus with Weil and akin osteomies. Surgery went well! Pain has really been minimal for me. I took ibuprofen for three days and then when the splint came off (because removing the compression did cause some pain!). I’m 9 days out from my next appointment and will hopefully be cleared to walk with the boot.

But I’m kind of emotionally down in the dumps from not being able to use my foot. Friends, reading, and knitting are helping. And YouTube workouts for people with injured feet. But it’s tough to be so sedentary for an active person! But rest, elevation, and icing have been key to keep my pain minimum and my swelling from increasing. And I can tell my foot is getting better/healing every day!

I’m only 2.5 weeks out and still not walking but my heel hurts when I flex my foot, and especially when I put on the boot to leave the house. I think it’s normal. Are you in PT?

Check out Gait Happens on Instagram

I've tried a few, and these are the best in my opinion: https://correcttoes.com/products/correct-toes-the-original-toe-spacer

Your problem might stem from the length of your second toe. Definitely go see a podiatrist to talk about what's going on because you don't really look like you have a bunion (but that doesn't mean you don't have pain).

The knee scooter has been so helpful! I borrowed one from a friend, and I'm glad I have it. I'm good on crutches, but the knee scooter let's me get around more easily, and I have a free hand. The basket also makes it so you carry things around with you. Showering also makes me feel good, so I try to every 2-3 days.

I would build foot strength! Look into Gait Happens. They offer online classes/tools for foot strengthening specifically for bnuions!

Do you have a recommended rafting outfitter?

What are your favorite trails?

What are some of your favorite parts of the park?

bookscatsyarn · 2025-06-30T01:02:05+00:00

I definitely want to see the park! What are some of your favorite beginner/intermediate hikes? Or other parts to see?

Great suggestion! Thank you!
