Hi i'm 8wk post op bunionectomy. i still have significant swelling in my big toe area with moderate stiffness. my doc says this is normal? opinions?

Without seeing: Xrays and examining your foot difficult to say. I would ask the doc a few questions. 1) is there something we can do to reduce this swelling? Do you think I need physical therapy? 2) do you feel dynamic motion would help?
