Suggest Treatment For Sharp Pain In The Toe

My big toe on very sore. I had a sharp pain in it yesterday, I took off my shoe to check to see if I had been bit or something like that. I found nothing, just soreness. Today the nail bed I red and is extremely tender. I had a bone graft from my hip to my jaw last month. This toe pain is not related is it?

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

From your description, the pain in the foot and leg with burning sensation without any history of injury can possibly be due to-
1. Limb ischemia- vascular study of the limbs will help in diagnosis. Color doppler study of legs is needed.

2. Nerve impingement- usually occurs due to degenerative disc disease. Nerve conduction studies, MRI of lumbar spine will help in reaching a diagnosis.

You may get the initial physical examination, relevant tests and treatment done under care of 'Orthopedician'.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
