I Had A Weil Osteotomy And A Plantar Plate Repair

I had a Weil osteotomy and a plantar plate repair four weeks ago. I've noticed I still have quite a bit of swelling and my second toe is raised and it feels "loose" compared to all other toes. I had 2 screws placed in my foot and a k-wire. I wear a splint at night and I have physical therapy this week, 2x a week for 6 weeks. Should I be worried about this loose second toe? Will it get stronger with PT? I am still in quite a bit of pain when I'm on the ball of my foot or walking. My ultimate goal is to run and workout again!!
