Suggest Treatment For Swelling In The Site Of Broken Toe
I broke my second toe 2 years ago when I ran into a suitcase. I went for an x ray to receive the diagnosis that it was in fact broken. It healed and now about a month ago I has started swelling and I cannot wear hardly any of my shoes. I went to orthopedic dr twice and he ordered an MRI but his office has not followed up with insurance. I got frustrated and told them I felt I needed a foot specialist. I have my records and x ray to take with me. In his notes he noted possible avn and/ or feiberg. I have called for an appointment with a podiatrist. It hurts all the time and swelling is persistent. Am I correct in going to a podiatrist?

If it is same place where you were previously hurt then this could be post traumatic arthritis, that require few days ice application, analgesic and rest for 2 weeks.Other possible causes xab be gout, rarely freiberg disease.
