Is Swelling In Hurt Toe After Playing Soccer Due To Tendon Or Ligament Tear?

Hi, Last week while barefooted, I accidentally kicked the hoover (vacum) and hurt my little toe. While the pain was gone 3 days later, I decided it was ok to play 6o minutes of soccer. Since that game, my toe and foot have been swollen and ice, elevationa dnrest at night do not seem to work. The pain is right at the joint where the foot stops and the toe begins. Are there ligaments or tendons that may have been torn? there is no bruising or discolouration and it is not sore to touch or move

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

It looks from your details that you may have a sprain of your ligament. If there was a fracture then it here should be swelling with continuous pain. I shall advise you to apply a compression bandage, apply cold compress over it. You may have a mild analgesic like advil or aspirin for relief of pain.

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

Regards,
Dr. Mukesh Tiwari, Orthopedic Surgeon
