Hello,

Thanks for writing to Health Care magic, I am Dr , Muhammad Ahmad , I have read your question closely, I understand your concern and will be helping you with your health related problem.

This is expected to be fine soon , ball is usually the bone forming, bone first forms in un-organised way and then it re models it self, i would suggest you to follow doctor's instructions religiously, do not over work your foot , resting your injured toe is most important in getting it healed well, wait and watch for now usually it heals in about three weeks, ice the area of swelling this will help.



I hope this answered your question, If you have more queries I am happy to answer you.
Regards.
