I have swelling and tenderness at the base of the second toe on my right foot. The swelling is also on the top of foot mainly between the big toe and second toe. I have had the swelling for 6 weeks. There is no pain when I move the second toe back and forth or side to side. If I push on the base of the second toe there is tenderness and some pain. Three weeks ago my family doctor took and x-ray of the foot and said there was no stress fracture. He thought it was a bone bruise and he has me wearing a metatarsal pad. I walk for exercise (61 years old) and my doctor thought it would be ok to resume walking. The metatarsal pad does help, but I still have the swelling and some tenderness on the bottom of the foot at the base of my second toe. It seems like the swelling is lasting a long time.
