Major problem / Symptomatic Areas
Foot - Anterior - Right
Greetings from Barbados! I am 8 weeks post bi molleolar fracture ankle surgery. I have been weight bearing for over a week now. My ankle swells a little, sometimes tight, slight discomfort but no pain. When I walk, however the tendon(?) just below my middle (3rd) toe hurts with every step. I will put heat on it, it feels better, but is still there. I know my foot isn't 100% yet. Just need to know if this is common, or could I be doing too much? I am going to physio twice a week here in Barbados, but I just needed some feedback. I won't be back in the states until the 11th of next month.
Thanks in advance,
Leslie
