A member asked:

What can i do to ease the pain? injured toe 7 months ago. dr said tore tendons and they healed as much as they would. now it hurts to walk, ball of foot pain where toe connects. 4th toe. feels like tendons/muscles loose. pain on top also. mri xray ok?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Many, many possibilities - “complex regional pain syndrome”, persistent hairline fracture of toe, “premature” osteoarthritis, malposition of tendon, infection of tendon repair, etc, etc. Need to see Orthopedic or Podiatric surgeon, need complete exam (maybe plus MRI) and proceed from there. At 7 months, unlikely to heal spontaneously. At 63 years, may ultimately become very disabling
