What Causes Persistent Pain In Toe After Fusion Surgery In Foot?

I had a fusion on my right foot of the big toe and the second toe. This was Nov.4 2014. I complain to surgeon about pain after 4 months. He said I should be walking by now. I should have no pain. He did x-rays and diagnosed that the hardware he put in became loose and he wanted to take it out. He did the surgery to remove the hardware he put in on April 2, 2015. He said I should be better in about a month. Before this second operation he made an observation that I had a sore in the surgical site area and asked what it was from. I told him I didn t know . Anyway, he did second surgery to remove hardware on the second toe. Bye the way, the first toe healed fine no pain no need to take back out hardware. I go one month and see him for another post op appoint. I m telling him I have continued pain. He said I will give you some compounded cream and he got a needle and injected a steroid in the foot. This helped for about 12 hours and the pain came back. To make a long story short I quit seeing him as I felt I was getting no were with pain relief. Since I have went to emergence room numerous times. I ended up in wound care and I can t seem to get this injury to heal. I m not diabetic nor do I smoke. Please advise.

As your expert said it was lose hardware causing it and it was done twice, we should respect his knowledge.

However steroid cream he injected is obviously for some time only.And its not the treatment.

I can't comment expertly on surgical part but can comment confidentally that wound can be healed even if its I fected with natural Ayurvedic Medicine.
Pain can also be managed if pain is not connected with inserted hardware.

To my own such patients I would advise to use Turmeric powder sprikled on wound. OR mix it in Ayurvedic clasdical PANCHGUNA OIL & Jatyadi oil mixed equally and do dressing for few days with this oil combo n turmeric. Pl do not hesitate if oils' smell is repulsive. These are not synthetic.

Drink 1/2 tsp turmeric powder in warm milk or warm water twice a day. You are not diabetic. Hence this formula will effect you much. It's tasteless.

These are safe, side effect-less naturals, no interaction, easy, economic herbals. Commonly available in India. Elsewhere try to get it online. We can also help.

My patients start getting cured in four weeks. Now it's your turn.

Hope it helps you.
