What Is The Cause For Toe Pain After A Surgery?

I had a broken baby toe repaired 4 weeks ago. Have a pin in for 6 weeks. It has basically been pain free since surgery until two days ago. Is it normal to have more pain at this point of recovery. I go to my surgeon in two weeks to have pin out. I am on my feet alot as I m a hairstylist. Toe is still swollen.

Hi,

Swelling in the toe is not a good sign. It means active inflammation is still present. Get an X-ray and consult your surgeon ASAP.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Gopal Goel, Orthopaedic Surgeon
