Walking again
On March 7th I had foot surgery. I had a joint replacement done on my big toe they cut the first metatarsal and put a screw in to give me more movement. I was non weight bearing for six weeks. I came to physical therapy with very little movement in the toe joint. I was not able to walk without limping. I was given some exercise and Joe used stim on the foot to take away the swelling. I am now able to walk without limping. I still get some swelling. In all, the exercises really helped.- Mary E.
