Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am diabetic and on metformin. I am overweight too. I wore shoes yesterday with no socks and today I wore sandals. My third toe to the right of the big toe started hurting today. Didn t know why. By the end of the day I noticed my toe is very sore and is a purple color. My husband wonders if I dropped something on it. A few days ago a big (100 lb) dog maybe stepped on the toe? I can t remember. No cuts, a little swollen and sore. what to do?
Small joints of foot may be swollen due to rise in uric acid. I feel you should be doing the blood investigation for uric acid level. If you let me know we can plan some homeopathic treatment.
