-Dr Foot's Discussion Board --Forum: Sports Injuries ---Topic: toe joint pain started by rjbrown

rjbrown Members 1 July 2004 July 30 2004,11:18 I bent my big toe back while playing football. After 3 months rest from sport I still feel some pain when puting pressure on the joint (for example walking) and the toe joint still seems to be a bit swollen and I don't have complete flexibility. I haven't seen a doctor because I didn't think it was serious. Back to top Dr Foot Super Administrators 406 Jan. 2003 Aug. 02 2004,07:55 You need x-rays to rule out bony damage. It may just be tendon damage but x-rays will confirm this. You also need to visit a chiropodist who will make you some custom padding from tubifoam and other cushioning materials. The toe needs to be rested so that it can heal and thus padding is very important. Back to top
