What Is The Treatment Of Swollen Foot ?
Hi, I had foot surgery on bunion, when they put the screw in, they broke my foot on Jan 14,2014. The cast was put on wrong. The big toe is droopy and stiff.The second toe is straight up. The foot is was very swollen. Lots of pain. Do you have any suggestions on how to get the swelling down and the droopy toe back to straight?

Hi foot surgery for bunion alone will not cause all these symptoms. In my opinion you had surgery for Hallux Valgus where multiple surgeries are performed to correct the deformity, hence the plaster and swelling. 2nd toe is held in place by pins till wound heals.I suggest that you take painkillers and keep the foot elevated on two pillows for 2-3 weeks. If no relief then it will be better to consult your surgeon.
