First time I have seen my foot since the operation. Everything went well. I have an arch. Haven’t had one for years. And the big arthritis knot has been removed. The doctors appointment wore me too a frazzle.
Neat rows of staples. I had staples in my neck after I had my thyroid removed, it looked just like this, well one line anyway not two. I had to keep the wound open and when I went out it looked as though my head had been stapled back on to my neck, ha ha. They did a good job and hardly any scar now. Hope yours heals quickly.
Boy do those staples bring back memories of my hip and knee surgeries! So glad I don't have to have any of those to be taken out any more! It looks like they'll heal up nicely- onward to better walking days!
Ouch, this looks amazingly like the op I had 4 years ago, the scars are in exactly the same place!! I know it’s early days but I’m sure you will pick up soon and you notice the difference it has made.
That is quite a photo and quite a lot of staples for sure. I had self dissolving ones for my hip surgery. My scar is very tender, but it looks pretty good. Foot surgery is really tough, but you are strong with such a good positive attitude. Two must miss you. I'm sending healing thoughts.
Oh my word! I hope your foot is much better after all this! Take good care!
I broke my foot in 2007 but luckily I didn't have to have surgery. I had to stay off it for 6 weeks. When the cast was removed I had swelling and numbness. It was called complex regional pain syndrome. I needed physical therapy before it became chronic.
@gardenfolk This is a problem I have had most of my life and has only gotten worse. I have no arch and then my achiles tendon pulled my right foot perpendicular to the left. Got painful to walk. Thus the operation to fix it all.
