What Causes Swelling, Bruising And Pain On Top Of The Foot?

Two months ago, my left small toe next to the big toe swelled, hurt and bruised along with part of the top of my foot. I noticed it while walking mid morning. I couldn t recall injuring it and ignored it most of the day. I dealt with the pain, limped around for 2 months, taped the two toes together and thought I must have broken it somehow. Currently, I am still in pain, although not as much. The swelling has gone down along with the bruising. It is still painful to walk on it. I am now questioning whether or not I really broke it or is it something else?

Hi,

You need to go for serum Uric acid examination as soon as possible. If it is not hurt or infected there is no other reason of swelling in toe.You also need to give a full medical history of yours and your dietary intake as well.Please look for the colour and smell of urine. Please notify as soon as get serum uric acid done, I shall accordingly suggest some remedies, meanwhile please reduce protein intake.

Hope that helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thanks,
