Can't bend toe: 29 F I can't bend my big toe down after a DIPJ injury 8 months ago. Xray was fine but it's painful to touch on surface and outer side. What might it be? ANS:if you cannot really bend your toe down at all you may have torn lose the the big toe flexing tendon from the big toe bending muscle and this may not show up on X-ray. Show to your Dr.

No, this is not an injury. Had xray done last week. Just noticed that my toe was hurting and comes up over the top of my big toe when I curl toes.
Nothing showed on my X-ray but my big toe feels like its jammed and if i bend it to a point it's going to break. It doesn't bend as far as the other?
