Nothing to worry about it if the sensation over your skin is normal and your toe movements are okay. Tight plasters can lead to skin necrosis. Swelling is normal it can persist for many weeks. What you need is exercising your joints.
Next Steps
online video consultation so that i can assess your condition.
Health Tips
avoid self medication.
