What Causes Pain And Swelling On Toe?

I bumped my foot to a chair last night. Now my right fourth little toe is painful that it kept waking me up all night. I can t curl my toes on my right foot like I do my left. It hurts to walk on it. I did ice it last night but do i still need to see a doctor for the ongoing pain? It does look a little swollen compared to my left toes.

Hello,

On a safer side, an x-ray is advised. Firstly stabilize the injured joint. As the movement will happen and also due to weight bearing the inflammation at the ligament will not subside. So stabilizing is of utmost importance.

Do hot water fermentation and slow passive movements of the toes. Don't perform the active ones. Within 6-7 days of the time, the pain will subside if there is no fracture.

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