Iain –
If i recall my toes were fused with a surgical steel rod down the length of each toe, i seem to be in hospital for ever at that point
It was different for me because i also had work done on my heels and tendons so my feet were in plaster for about 8 weeks or so.
I don't remember having any problems walking etc, just wear some strong toed shoes when riding and you should be ok.
I can't stress enough the need to avoid walking in bare feet though – when i stubbed my toe, instead of it folding under my foot as before it bent all the way back at the base and snapped the tendon – it bloody hurt and the toe is now annoyingly 'stubbable'.
As for the rest – if it hurts don't do it for a bit is my recommendation 😆
