What Could Cause The Lower Tissues Around The Toe To Swell?
In February I suffered a 5th metatarsal base fracture (tuberosity type). The cast is off & I walk & weight bare. However the main problem is the lower part of the foot - Tissue around the toes swells if I try to bend the foot; there is still not proper movement in the foot (I does not bend fully). Will this lack of movement be permanent & what is wrong with the ligaments near the toes?

naturally u swelling will go away with daily activitys
try running and jogging
ligaments will losen up as well
