    Hi. I've recently had both big toes fused (December/February). It's a struggle I admit. It's early days still but lack of movement in big toe doesn't seem too bad. But it's hard to get walking with ease again. I had the ops close together so that's made recovery slow. I'm having big problems with my outer toes on both feet getting really sore from walking on the outside. Trying hard not to. It's no fun that's for sure.
