1. Swelling
After foot surgery, the most common complication is foot swelling. Unfortunately, we can not change gravity, and this usually pulls all the fluid into your feet as you stand. The increase in fluid after surgery is most prominent in the toes and can last from 1- 6 months after your surgery date. Many patients complain to me that their toes look like sausages, this is normal and the swelling will resolve over time. Compression can help, we have included a compression stocking for youherefrom amazon to help decrease some swelling in your feet.
