I have been working with my husband in trying to get some motion into my toe. I have been allowing him to message my foot. It has helped a bit in getting me to relax and tollerate someone touching my foot. It sure isn't easy but we have been doing this every night. Each time it seems to get a little easier to tollerate. He has been trying to relax my toe. I have been working with it myself and there is not movement yet but I am not giving up.
Soaking it in warm water before he messages it helps too. I am really working with the other toes too, to prevent this from happening to them. I think when they had my foot in a cast, it included my big toe, it may have contributed to this problem.
Thanks to all that responded. I am sorry you are going through it too.
