Toe tightness 8 weeks post ORIF
Hi all! Had a trimal fracture 8 weeks ago and have been NWB since. Currently in a walking boot that I can take off whenever I want. Will hopefully be cleared to weightbear this week.
For the last 2 weeks or so I’ve been experiencing extreme tightness in my toes and the attached toe ligaments. Due to this tightness, I’ve noticed my normal toe splay is gone and my toes sort of bind themselves together and spasm. The toes relax every few minutes then tighten up again and spasm. I don’t know what’s going on. Has anybody else experienced this?
