Suggest Treatment For Back Pain
I bought a new pair of walking shoes and i also used a dr scholls back pain insert into my shoes. I noticed my gait was somewhat different as it felt like i was walking on pillows. I walked 3.5 hours at good pace. Half way through the walk my instep and big toe became irritating..sore. When I got home I discovered a golf ball sized bump on my big toe knuckle. I have iced it for 3 days and now there s still some redness but also a large blister in the middle..size of a nickel...advise?

you have developed a blister on your big toe knuckle due to friction on the skin. It usually subsides in a week . U can break the blister with a sterile needle and apply some betadine skin crème. Analgesics like diclofenac 50 mg if it hurts. If you are diabetic check your blood sugar!
