I had hammertoe surgery and bunion surgery in January. My doctor told me to exercise my tendons so that my toes can bend. I can bend all my toes except my 2nd and third toe. It hurts really bad when I do the exercises, so I am wanting to know what else can I do to help with the bending of my toes. Can I soak in hot water or is it best to keep trying to bend and elevating with ice? How long will it be b4 I can bend my toes good?
Didn't you go to physical therapy? I would the doctor if you can do that.
I agree with I Love Yahoo……you definitly should see about physical therapy, untill then I would try soaking your toes in some warm/hot water with some epson salt. Goodluck!
I would keep trying to stretch your foot with some kind of elastic banding. Wrap it around the front of your foot and pull your foot toward you. Get that tendon mobil again. Once you start having good flexion in your foot you will be able to move your toes once again.
