What Night Have Happened Wrong With My Baby Toe?

I have " distal fractured phalanx " of my baby toe. Occurred 8 days ago. Ortho doc seen and toe put back in place & taped. Swelling under control as long as elevated. Experiencing burning sensation in baby toe and cramping in all toes, except big toe. Is this normal healing? I replaced the tape after shower. Could I have done it wrong causing burning & cramping?

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

I can advise you is that fracture of the little toe will heel with just taping. And that is exactly what your doctor has done there will be discomfort for a few days but eventually. It will disappear in three weeks.


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

Regards,
Dr. Santosh S Jeevannavar
