How Can Severe Pain In The Toe Be Treated?
Today my 92-year-old mother is experiencing sharp pains in her left toe. She is thinking it is arthritis, but says she can hardly walk. Is there a chance it could be related to her heart? We have no knowledge of her having heart disease. She wants to wait to see if it is better in the morning before we call her doctor. Should we tend to it ASAP?
