Swelling In Toe And Tight Feeling In Skin While Stretching Foot, Got Hit On Foot. What Could This Be?

Hi, I knocked the top of my foot on the coffee table about 8 days ago. Since then the top around the toes has been swollen, not bruised though. When I stretch my foot out to point my toes, the skin feels tight. If I massage it, the swelling goes down, but then walk around it swells up again. Any ideas?

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having some soft tissue or ligament damage giving ris to this problem.
Go for ice bag application for few days.
Take anti-inflammatory medicines for 3-5 days.
Give rest to the part.
Ok and take care.
