Q: painless swelling under 2nd 3rd 4th toe .had for week after walking barefoot on hard floor.what can it be please?

: Unusual to have consistent swelling without pain. It is however possible. You could be experiencing joint capsulitis of the metatarsal -phalangeal joint 2,3,4. Hard surfaces can cause this as well as certain shoes. Would not recommend walking on hard surface without protection.
