How Can Pain, Stiffness And Tingling Sensation In The Toe Be Treated?

i think my toe it broken. At soccer practice yesterday, I can’t remember if I got stepped on or went into a tackle, but i know somethings wrong with my big toe. When i started driving home, my big toe got all tingly, it hurt t apply pressure, and there was bruising. I got home and iced it for 20min, and have had pain ever since. I woke up at 1:45am this morning because my toe has just been in constant pain (it almost feels like a constant growing pain). my symptoms are: bruising, tingliness(just yesterday), constant pain, stiffness, there was a burning sensation about an hour ago, tenderness, swelling, and hurts to put weight on jt. I don’t want to go to the doctor if there is nothing that they can do about it, and spend the unnecessary money. The problem is i have soccer games/tournaments this weekend and for the next couple of weekends and i have college coaches coming to watch me. I dont care what they can do, i just want to be healed in the fastest way possible whether jt be a cast, boot or whatever. thank you

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,

Considering your symptoms you may be having a fracture in great toe bones. I would like to advise X-ray of the involved foot anteroposterior and oblique views to confirm the diagnosis.

Treatment would be buddy strapping of great toe and second toe with a boot cast. Splinting may be needed for 21 days.

Tab Diclofenac sodium twice a day for pain relief can be taken. Ice application and limb elevation help reducing swelling. Visit orthopaedic surgeon for detailed clinical Examination is recommended.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Jayesh Vaza, Orthopaedic Surgeon
