What Causes Stiff Swollen Joints In The Big Toe After An Injury?
I stumped my foot several weeks ago and now I have been having pain, stiffness and swelling in the joint connected to my big toe. If I walk a lot it is very tender. Could I have broken a bone? I can walk fine but if I over due it the pain increases.

Hello dear
Understand your concern.
Exact diagnosis should be made by physical examination and by XRAY of toes.
Yes it may be due to hairline fracture/haematoma/joint effusion due to ijury.
Take following advice:
Give completely rest
Apply comfortable splint
Warm pad application
Wear comfortable foot wear.
Tablet DAN-SR
Rise the leg while sleeping by putting pillow
Hope this may help you
Best regards
