Pain In Toe Bone, Frequent Swelling, Unable To Walk. MRI Due. Cancer Symptoms? Diagnosed Thyroid Cancer Earlier
hi...10 years ago I was diagnosed w/thyroid cancer. I now am having issues with my big toe. nothing confirmed yet but going in for an mri tomorrow to see if this may be cancer. this pain in my toe feels like it is on the bone. it has been this way for about a year or so but now has gotten worse and swells from time to time. hurts more when I walk on the treadmill or workout. just would like to know if it is possible that this may in fact be cancer? thank you for your time

Hi, it appears to be the ostomalacia of the big toe, or some other infection, or arthritis.
I advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. If it continues even after the treatment then your doctors will decide whether it is cancer. Thank you.
