Pain in second toe, ball of foot?

I hit my leg and it started to hurt, I thought it would heal itself, but it's still painful. There's no redness and it's not swollen. I'm going to see a doctor, but by knowing our medical system I'll probably get an appointment in like 2-3 months. So do yiu know what's wrong and how should i treat it?

    I would wrap it and ice it indirectly, (put a towel in between the ice and your leg). Make sure you don't keep the ice on for more than 10 minutes.

    Bones can be bruised, and a bruised bone is tender. Small sprains are common in toes, but there is little that can be done for that except to let it rest. A clot would be tender and could cut off circulation to the skin, causing numbness. It sounds like you have a minor injury that will resolve itself.

    Of course, monitor it and be alert to worsening.
