Remedy for a swollen big toe that is paining ?
This morning i woke up and my big toe of my left foot was hurting a little bit, then gradually over the day it increased causing me to be unable to walk properly. And now after 14 hours since i woke up, it is paining continuously so bad that i can't walk without limping and my toe has swollen as well. It is paining no matter what position i keep my foot in or whatever. The pain is so bad that i can't sleep, been trying from 3 hours. And i am 18 male, 130 pounds not overweight and my height is 5'11" if that helps anyhow :\

Do you think you hit it on something in your sleep? If you bumped it and then walked around on it today, it might just gradually be getting more sore. Try to take a NSAID (ibuprofen, tylenol, etc.) to reduce the swelling and that should help with the pain. Also check the toe to make sure you dont have an insect bite of some kind. That could be something that you would want to see a doctor about if it isnt better within a day or two.
Hope you feel better! :)
