You will also swell in your foot and ankle after knee surgery on the same side increasing the possibility of soreness. Fracture is possible, infection unlikely, so a visit to the ER without obvious incident of injury probably will not help. Of course, alot of ifs, ands, and buts. Email me directly if you have more information 3 days since your post.

I am now suffering from pain in left foot, sesamoid area of big toe. Taking anti-biotics and pain meds and PT. Could this be a side affect from surgery? Infection or even a fracture? I don't see my Dr again for another 12 days, but don't know if I should wait and see if pain goes away or go in on urgent care.

INFLAMED RED TOE, SWELLING AND REDNESS OF THE ENTIRE, AND RESTRICTED TO THE TOE. MY TOENAIL ISN'T SORE EITHER, YET I DON'T SUFFER EXTREME DISCOMFORT WITH ANY OTHER KIND OF SHOE ON. I FIRST ENCOUNTERED IT ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO, IT LASTS FOR ABOUT 3 TO 4 DAYS THEN IS GONE. WHAT I HAVE NOTICED IS THAT AFTER WEARING A SPECIFIC PAIR OF TACKIES,THE PROBLEM RAISES IT'S HEAD. AFTER A FEW DAYS OF WEARING NORMAL SHOES AND SLIPPERS AT NIGHT, THE PROBLEM DISAPPEARS. I'VE TAKEN VOLTAREN TABLETS AND THIS APPEARS TO HELP. COULD THIS BE GOUT? I'VE RECENTLY UNDERGONE A CONCURRENT HEALTH ASSESSMENT WHERE BLOOD SAMPLES WERE TAKEN. WOULD THESE TESTS REVEAL ABNORMAL LEVELS OF URIC ACID IN THE BLOOD? OR SHOULD I ASK FOR SPECIFIC BLOOD TESTS?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-673715911736059911.post-31075016007165068912011-08-14T09:26:21.855-07:002011-08-14T09:26:21.855-07:00My husband has a toe that looks like this, some sc...My husband has a toe that looks like this, some scaling, no pain and he just came home 3 days ago from 5 days in the hospital on antibiotics to counteract his negative reaction to being on IV antibiotics for 10 days. Before this he was on antibiotics and a medrol pack for a full course. They now have him on antibiotics and probiotics and his toe is still red, swollen and warmer than his other foot. Please - let me know if you have any idea what this could be. He has been to several doctors including infectious disease, rheumetologist, pediatrist and his regular doctor. I have started using tea tree oil on it in the last day. Thank you for any information or recommendations you can provide. kayhlas@gmail.comlee kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04372181467854039572noreply@blogger.com
