Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes A Ligament Tear And Swelling On The Toe?
I think I have either a fracture or a torn ligament at the bottom of my second toe. It is slightly swollen in that spot and I have been experiencing a little pain for about a month. I think I may have hurt it while doing yoga. Do I need to see a doctor? My email is YYYY@YYYY .
Yes, you need to see a doctor. It could be underlying fracture also because you are having pain and swelling. So, I suggest you to investigate with an X-ray and consult an orthopedic surgeon.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Parth Goswami,
General & Family Physician
