Do you also have the effect to trip over your big toe??

I used to fall over it before my surgery and my mother broke her foot a few

weeks ago because of falling over her toes. And I often had/have problems to get

big toe is stretched, only the right one is the same as before (but I would say

it is a bit better).

Bye,
