6mo post-op bunionectomy. big toe is still a little swollen and the incision area is numb/tingly-i get same feeling up my leg as well (sometimes). ?

Thats normal: The numbness and the edema continues for sometime up to a year. Keep the toe compress to milk out the edema. Massage the toe with analgesic cream to loosen the scar tissue.
