Broke both sides of right ankle, as well as bone to little toe, on march 1. Why are toes on that foot still swollen?

I suspect I fractured my small toe 5 years ago, I feel pain when I walk barefoot on the bone underneath the toe and this causes me to shift my weight onto the other side of my foot. Problem is not as bad when I wear tackies or shoes ?

I broke phalanx of my right toe 2 weeks ago. Currently it is untapped and not in cast. Xray showed that bone is healing well. Do i still risk damaging the healing process? I am making very little movement, all within my appartment since the accident?
