Hurt my Foot/Toe and week ago, need advice!?
Well, I run track and we were practising in our spikes and all of a sudden my second to last toe hurt. It was a little swollen and painful but that was it. But after awhile, it got worse and more swollen! We couldn't find the place where it was hurting until about Monday night. It was the back of my foot right where it drops off at the toe. I went to see my brother in law who is a chiropractor and he said I bruised my head of something that is common in dancers apparently. Anyway, Today It has gotten even worse! Now the pain is through out my foot and i cant move my toes. I try to walk on it and it will feel fine and all of a sudden it was sharp pains. It also feels like im walking on a golf ball. Any ideas if I should get it checked out again?

Hi there,
Personally, I think you have fractured the bone.
I would go and see your GP if possible as they may prescribe anti-inflammatories to reduce swelling and pain.
Plus they may send you to get an X-ray to which will help identify the problem.
I hope this helps.

out of your description, i'm no longer so particular that's a pinched nerve. in case you sense a sensation in the foot/toe such as at the same time as your leg falls asleep - a tingling very nearly as if tiny needles were poking you there, then it probably is a pinched nerve. in case you sense discomfort, then it may well be a number of issues - sprang or hyperextended muscles or tendons of the foot, hairline fracture in the bones on your foot, or harm in the comfortable tissues of your foot. once you've been giving your foot relax those very last month and by no skill determining (kicking), or walking lengthy distances, then that's going to have healed by utilising now. Judging by utilising what you wrote, you haven't been giving it proper relax and care. Do properly right here for some more beneficial weeks -- a million) stay off your foot as commonly as a chance. at the same time as seated, elevate the foot to the point of your waist and keep it conveniently instantly. 2) previously you sleep, soak your foot in warm water for more beneficial or less 20 minutes, then message it for more beneficial or less 2-3 minutes. Flex the ft some time with out inducing any sensation of discomfort and placed on a loose setting up sock to mattress. 3) in the morning, message the foot previously status on it. And make sure to stay off it as commonly as you may. 4) once you may walk or stand, attempt to placed the final public of your bodyweight in the different unijuried foot. and attempt no longer to placed rigidity on the injured toe. If the discomfort does no longer go away in some weeks, then you certainly prefer to verify the health practitioner.
