Hi all, iv got extreme pain in my big toe, its swollen, purple in colour and having seen a podiatrist yesterday whereby he recommends i have long term specialist shoes which can take a while he said. What can i do in the meantime to maybe help with the pain & swelling?
Tyia for any advice you may be able to offer
I would suggest you need to seek urgent advice this afternoon as it does not sound too good. Could be caused by many different things.
Hi shopman ty for that, not sure what to do now as wouldnt the podiatrist have acted if he thought there was something bad going on, when i saw him yesterday? Although I did think he was a bit far away to be fair, as i looked online at what to expect from podiatry and my actual appointment resembled None of what id read to expect b4 hand lol
Is there any chance that you can get to see a G.P today. Perhaps you have some kind of infection in there.
It could even be Gout ???.
You don't want to suffer all over the weekend..x
I think it might be gout also, best get to your Doc and I think a good soak with the Epson salts might relieve some of your pain. I hope you get relief soon.
I'd suggest A&EAre you diabetic ? if so I'd suggest A&E if not GP. asap.
Hi Kelly,did you manage to go to the Doctors today. If you did, what did he say. I hope its a little more comfortable for you now .If i get trouble with my feet, or need to cut my toenails, i soak them in some warm water with a little bit of Epsom Salt in it.
Might help you ???.😊 x.
It could be gout, and a podiatrist should have had a inkling. Your doctor will sort it out for you. Best wishes
It sounds like gout to me.
