Suggest Remedy For Swelling And Pain In The Foot Between Digits
I have an annoying pain in my left foot between the base of the first and second toe. It is mildly swollen and becoming difficult to bear weight on the left foot. It is a localized pain and what I would consider continuous sharp. It is the result of an awkward step during a rugby match. I am 69 tall and 205 lbs. I think it is a sprain, but wonder if an xray is in order. It has been since Wednesday this week and R.I.C.E. Has been minimally effective. Thoughts?

Hello,
Yes, I think also it might be a sprain. An X-ray of the foot might show better it. There is no real treatment for that. Just try to have a rest and painkillers as needed and usually it disappears by itself.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
