HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that you may have arthritis of the joint. This can occur secondary to trauma.
Arthritis can cause swelling and pain of the joint. The use of anti inflammatory pain killers such as ibuprofen, naproxen, voltaren.
If these are not effective then your doctor can give your stronger medications.
Staying off the foot as much as possible would also help.
I hope this helps
