Small finger swelled
Hi,
My left finger of feet has swelled and I'm not able to got to gym (Not able to wear shoes).
This was because of the the finger hits the edge of a iron cot before 3 weeks. I thought this is a normal pain and will get cure after few days.Its been 3weeks almost. Swelling and pain are not gone.
Even with that pain, I'm wearing shoes everyday (Not much pain cause I have broad width shoes).
Now I'm afraid that this pain not gone even after long time like 3weeks. And wearing shoes will get me into another trouble.
Please suggest me if I need any treatment

Hello there...well 3 weeks is a long time for pain to be present...you should immediately visit a orthopadecian/musculoskeletal physio for assessment....most likely a blunt injury with or without fracture may result in swelling....for the time being dont wear shoes.
Next Steps
xray is necessary to rule out fracture.
Health Tips
Wear sandals which will keep your fingers open also dont apply heat or diclofinac based ointments as it might increase swelling.
