I am nine weeks postop from Chevron. I still cannot move my big toe and my second toe can move, but it is extremely sore and stiff when I do so. I’m in panic mode. I keep seeing posts where people got off of pain medication like on day three and I had to take half a hydrocodone a few nights ago. I understand everyone is different, but I feel like I should at least be able to move my toes freely now. Has this happened to anyone else for such a long period of time?

I understand and respect the need for water restrictions at this time. What I don’t understand is that today is my “ assigned” day and it is currently 70° out. According to the restrictions, I need to wait until 6 PM when it is going to be 87° out. Makes much more sense that I should be able to water now versus later. Obviously not the end of the world, but I wish someone could make sense of this for me.

I had bunion and Chevron surgery. I am only post day 16. Reading other posts I feel like I’m in more pain than I should be. It’s primarily at night and I still feel like there’s a big rubber band squeezing my big toe. Am I overreacting?
