Foot Numb At The Area Where Hit, Big Toe Painful. How To Get Over This ?
I work in the construction field and 2 days ago I hit my foot (just above the big toe) and it hurt at first but now (a days later) it only hurts a bit but it's numb in the area that I hit. I can walk on it, before it swelled up I could move all my toes and I still can (I can't bend the big toe but can move it with light pain. What could this mean?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
It seems that there has been a minor fracture in the area of your big toe. An X-ray will help in confirmation of diagnosis. Avoid weight bearing and keep the foot elevated.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
