Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
my left next pinky toe has been red and swollen since april last year. I feel pain when touch it. I saw foot Dr. who asked me to take pain med(Ibuprofen) which does not help, because it' s still the same red and swollen toe. It's probably gets bigger. What causes that? I'm 50yrs old and in good health. Please help
I think it may be hair line fracture. So get X ray of your foot first. If x ray is seen then get little toe bandage, take ultracet and avoid putting weight on affected side. your pain will be fine in 2 weeks.
