Foot Update 1 year 5 months later

So its been over a year since my foot surgery, almost a year and a half now! I had hoped that the surgery would solve all my problems but unfortunately, that does not seem to be the case. My doctor keeps telling me that I need to keep massaging the scar tissue and he suggested seeing a physical therapist to help with the big toe joint that is always to painful. Basically, while the initial problem of a sore swollen foot went away, now I have to deal with a weak and sore big toe joint and a ton of scar tissue which causes the same problems that the other did. I really just need to save up my money and get a deep tissue massage and see a physical therapist.

I know not super exciting but better than nothing? its a constant work in progress... haha... Maybe someday my foot will be all better and I will be able to do more on it. It hurts real bad to put any weight on the balls of my feet so dancing is a struggle (although I just power through it cause I love it), running is painful and anything like planking/push ups have to be on my knees cause my foot can't handle it. I tried doing mountain climbers exercise and I fell and started crying cause my foot was so against it. Someday I will be able to do all I used to be able to do...
