What Causes Severe Pain In The Foot After A Toe Injury?

Hi, I am a 53 year old woman, very active, in shape, etc. I smashed my toe on the floor 2 days ago and it hurt, but not too bad. It tingled a little bit after that. I iced it. It seemed fine. Then, a couple hours later, when I stood up, I got a shooting pain in my foot. I could barely support my weight with the pain. 2 days later, the pain comes and goes. Most of the time, I am completely fine and can even exercise. Sometimes, it hurts a lot on the top and mostly bottom of my foot where the big toe meets the metatarsal. It hurts especially when walking or running or pushing off. What do you think this might be?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,

As still you have pain in toe and swelling with difficulty in walking, I will suggest you to do X-ray of that affected foot to rule out fracture after orthopedician consultation.

In case of fracture you may require strapping. don't give much strain over that affected feet. Take rest. In case of pain you can take tablet paracetamol. In case of open wound do regular dressing and keep it clean .

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