What Do Pain And Inflammation On The Left Foot Indicate?
My left foot has redness and pain in the joint directly above my big toe. Heat is radiating from it. I have tried ice and ibuprofen which help but it keeps hurting and getting redder and still hot to touch. Foot is very stiff and hurts to walk. Hurts on top of foot not the ball.
