What is the retrieval time after Hallux Rigidus/Bone Spur Surgery?

I'm a 33 yr old female who had the hallux rigidus surgery on 07/11/08 on my right foot. The surgeon said it would be going on for 3-4 day recovery and I would be back on my foot, even playing tennis!! It is going into WEEK 5 and still in a lot of discomfort and pain.

I am competent to get my foot into a tennis shoe barely. My experiences are swelling and pain whenever I own my foot down for more than a few minutes. It is painful to put weight on my foot, mostly on the ball of my foot, my other toes and the inside of my foot. Doing simple things approaching the dishes, taking a shower and driving is just terrible. If I'm not doing any of the simple household things, I have my foot elevated. The worst is within the evening because it seems to swell more often. Sometimes, it also feels approaching my circulation has been cut off.

This be my first week back to work and was pretty challenging getting around. I'm hobbling around short crutches. I'm not sure if it is getting better or worse. I'm doing the exercises of bending my toe back hoping this will help.

Please permit me know if anyone has had similar experiences. How much more time it is going to take to know how to walk without limping and feeling niggle? Is there anything I can do to speed up the recovery time? Please help!

You enjoy something wrong there. I had my right foot done about a month ago and it is fine and dandy. I purely had my left foot done on August 1 and other than it response like I have a big bruise on my heel I am fine. If you have swelling and adjectives that other stuff going on you need to talk to your doctor that operated on you. Mine is great.
