Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Toes And Heel
I am a 65 year old female. I had ingrown toenails removed 3 weeks ago. Yesterday I had pain below one of the toes that lasted a couple hours. Later the pain moved closer to my heel and has persisted for about 36 hours now. I noticed that I have a very small lump there now.
