Hi--- I had joint replacement in 1996 and still to this day the toe is stiff--- I seemed to trade 1 pain for 3 new ones....WOuld I do it again---probably ??? maybe more therapy needed---I was never really told to do anything---but I guess things need loosened up--- maybe a visit to the pain management clinic for some advice.....take care--- rob

: I had the joint on my big toe replaced in December. I'm worse off than before the surgery. It hardly bends and if it does it really hurts. What can I do?
