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.
I am a 37 year old life long athlete: soccer, endurance running(marathons ++), swimming, TRIs,... I have had my second toe, right foot joint replaced and bunion removed. My 3rd & 4th toes on my right foot are very calloused and painful. I get sharp pain in the toes or top of foot area of the 3rd & 4th toes. The top tip of my 2nd toe on my left foot is very tender and painful. It is tan in center, reddish purple and seems to be spreading. The toe had been numb and tingly for a while but now the tip is just very painful. I almost never wear shoes and when I do I never wear tight shoes or heals. In years past I wore very tight fitting soccer boots.
It seems with your symptoms things are not good, I believe there is a compromise in Blood circulation, and it may go for necrosis, protective measure you can wear a soft shoes but if there is no open wound please use Contrast bath i.e., hot and cold alternatively water immersion. Never go for extreme cold or extreme Hot water immersion.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Sunny Anand, Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist
