(Canada)
Left foot ball below the big toe joint, No redness or bruising evident on skin, however very painful. Began two days ago with pain in centre of foot, moved to sesamoid bone area and has stayed put. Swollen day two and three. Very painful day three- I was however trying to walk on it. Xray shows no fractures or breaks according to Doctor. I have applied ice and heat and kept off it on day four (today). I am having hot baths, taking arnica and applying it topically. The foot begins to pain if touched, if I stand upright with it off the floor for too long and of course if I try to walk on it. Day one and two I could move big toe and all toes no problem, today I cannot move any of my toes. The range of motion of the foot is limited to downward movement. I cannot move foot upward without great pain. I am keeping foot elevated and keeping off of it.
