Swollen Painful Toe

Shal68

Hi,

Does anyone else have a swollen painful toe next to the big toe?

I can't see a doctor and they just say take painkillers. I just wondered if anybody else has this weird problem.

Hello @Shal68 and welcome to the community. We are a friendly and supportive group and I hope that you will find that as well.

I understand that you have a swollen painful toe and that the doctors won't see you (a common thing these days, usually telephone only) but I would suggest try again and if that doesn't work do you have a minor injuries clinic you could go to? At least you would get to see a medical person.

In the meantime please have a look around our website and the search facility to see if there is anything of interest. To help you I've added a couple of links below

Please do keep posting and let us know how you get on and I am sure others will also connect and share their experiences as well

With very best wishes
