Yesterday was running up my stairs and my big toe caught in my pant leg and at first it felt like my toe just came off like it wasn t even there but then after a while and today, its so difficult to walk, theres swelling and some slight bruising. Its more my first metatarsal bone, under my big toe. What do I do?

Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
The swelling and bruise of the toe can be secondary to the trauma because of inflammation. Nothing to be panic, consult a general physician and get it evaluated. Mean while you can take a course of analgesics with antiinflammatory drugs like diclofenac and serratiopeptidase respectively(if you are not allergic).
I hope i have answered your query. Take care.
