What Are The Causes For Pain And Swelling In Toes?

for many months now I've been experiencing pain & swelling in the last 3 toes on my left foot, mainly my pinky toe. I can barely bend any of my toes & my ankle hurts at times too. I have issues wearing any type of shoes other than flip flops & slippers. Walking is a problem but it seems regardless of what I do, I'm in a lot of pain.

Hello and welcome.

A few basic investigations need to be conducted before establishing a diagnosis like your RA factor, an x ray of the affected region, CRP levels, serum uric acid, coagulation profile, etc. I would strongly recommend an orthopedician visit.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
