7 Weeks Post Surgery

So it's been awhile since I have posted any updates. I am doing really well and my foot looks really good. The swelling has gone down a lot and all of my stitches have finally fallen out. I am cleared to start jogging on Saturday and I can't wait! Sitting out at lacrosse has been really hard for me. Fortunately, I only miss one week and can start really soon! The feeling in my toes has pretty much come back. I have started bending my them and it feels like my big toe has to crack, but I'm not allowed to crack it which kind of stinks. I go to the gym everyday and do the elliptical for an hour! Hopefully it is preparing my foot well to get back to running! Here's a picture of what my foot looks like now-a lot better than the first one!

    Erin,

    I'm scheduled for a seismoidectomy in two days, and I have to admit, I'm not looking forward to it. I've been dealing with pain for many years, and tried orthotics, meditarsal pads, cordisone and presdisone. Sometimes it works. The pain comes and goes, and right now it's gone. thinking about canceling the surgery but I know it will come back. Thoughts?

      I don't think you should cancel it! I'm so glad I got it done and I don't have any more pain in the bottom of my foot anymore. I have been walking funny so the top of my foot is sore but I'm doing really well! You should do the surgery if you have been in constant pain
