Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have swelling in calf and stiffness in toe joints which is because of deep vein thrombosis , bursitis or local abscess. I will advise to do MRI ankle for soft tissue involvement . Physiotherapy like ultrasound and TENS will help in early healing. Follow strict limb elevation, do ice fomentation. Medicine like Trypsin chymotrypsin will help to reduce swelling. If condition doesn't get improve then consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order CT scan , blood test and physical examination and treat it accordingly .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
