What Causes Severe Pain In Toes And Swollen Fingers?

Hey there - my fingers and toes get or maintain shooting pain from what feels like the bone, out. About a month ago it got so bad I went to Urgent Care to get an x-ray to see if my toes - the 3rd and 4th - were broken, as they felt. I was sent home from Urgent Care in a rude way, and basically told not to wear flip-flops and that would help. (The only reason I was wearing them was because of how bad it hurt to wear my tennis shoes!) As soon as I got home, I searched for and found a Foot and Ankle doctor, made an appointment, and two weeks later I was sitting in her office getting a shot for what seemed to be a Neuroma. The problem is, it s not just those two toes. Those two just feel so much worse than the others. The corticosteroid helped, but now I feel my right foot left big toe a lot more prevalently, and I ve had to drive with my left foot in intervals because of how bad it hurts. My fingers cannot get cold or they HURT. They will swell a bit, but mostly just what feels like my bones are being crushed. Any ideas? Julia E

Hi julia. I can understand the pain you must be going through must be terrific, I would advice you to do a work for rheumatoid arthritis to begin with as it can cause problems like this.meanwhile I would advice you to take warm water immersions everyday involving your major joints to relieve them of some pain.
do let me know if you have any more questions for me
