Question 1

pain in toe (burning) and pain in metasarsal.  even without shoes, my toe and bottom of my foot hurts after walking on it for a short time.?

Accepted Answer

Different things: Can cause pain in the feet.  Burning pain leads me to think there may be irritation or entrapment of a nerve or neuroma.  Having said that, other things may lead to the pain that you described such as stress fractures.  Evaluation by a podiatrist could be beneficial.

Question 2

Question 7

i stayed seatted for over a month and my foot was swollen for a few days.now it has some small dark colored areas and my toes feel numb sometimes.

Accepted Answer

Dependency: Sitting for long periods of time can make you feet swell. The swelling can cause pressure on the nerves, this can lead to numbness. The discoloration sounds like blood cells and pigment leaking into the tissue causing staining. You need to elevate those legs and flex those muscles. Be evaluated by a professional if this persists.

Question 8

i stepped on a bee at the beach in spain 1-2 day's ago, now my 2 little toes are huge and my foot hurts when i walk. am i alergic?

Question 10

monday my foot hit a door. big toenail came straight off. now i have swelling and pain on the big toe and the top of my foot. could i have broken it?

Accepted Answer

Surely: An x-ray would be needed to tell. Or you may have a contusion. You also want to make sure you do not get an infection from the nail ripping off and that the nail bed itself is not lacerated. A podiatrist would be able to check all these things.  Ice your foot until you can see one.
