What Causes Chunks In The Toe?
I cannot bend my second toe. My doctor x-rayed it and found no breaks for fractures. I am able to feel chunks in it though. This started when I was three months pregnant and eight months later it still continues. It hurts to walk, and even when I sit it still hurts. Why is this?

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to a callus. Calluses are not normally harmful, but sometimes they may lead to infections or ulcerations of the skin. I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain.
Use over-the-counter pads. Apply a pad to protect the area where a corn or callus developed.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
