Suggest Treatment For Persistent Pain In Big Toe And Difficulty Bending It
I leaped over a baby gate as if it was a hurdle and I smacked my big toe off the top of it. I was limping for about 5 minutes but I was fine after that. It started to bruise up and I could feel something move and click (feel it not hear) whenever I felt it to see how bad the damage was. I ve never had a fractured/cracked bone before so I don t know what any of them feel like. After a few days the bruising went away. I was able to walk fine on it without any pain unless I pressed it myself with my hand. All that was 2 weeks ago and It still slightly hurts when pressed and at random times when I bend my toe. What could it be? Hope this all makes sense. PS: I have provided a picture of the bruising that showed up a day after.
