Big toe hurting for 48hrs. haven't knocked/exerted it. movement doesn't especially hurt. icing brings mild relief.

Look Inside.: A great toe that hurts for 48 hours and is only mildly relieved with ice needs to be x-rayed. You may not think you injured it, but other things could be going on. You need to see an orthopedic specialist and have him evaluate it.
