Im 4 wk bunioectomy post op & still swollen in big toe area. i'm still elevating & icing daily. any other suggestions ? compression socks be helpful?

Take the chill off.: Without knowing what type of bone work was done, I think it is time to cut the ice. Elevation fine. Rest fine. Too much ambulation? Probably. At this point , the cold can inhibit the foots healing response.
