My big toe doesn't bend and hurts?

Question

Hello My big toe has not bent forward for 4 weeks, but it does bend backward. When I bend it with my hand, there is no problem but when I try to bend it with the force of my foot it doesn't work It is sensitive when I touch the skin between the big toe and the second toe. I sometimes have rustling and throbbing during the day but it's not constant What is it exactly? Is it normal? What is it due to? Is it dangerous? Thank you

Hello, thank you for your question! But unfortunately, the situation you describe requires the attention of a physician. In fact, only doctors can provide a diagnosis and I think we need a clear diagnosis before we attempt any treatment option. Otherwise, we risk causing negative effects without the benefits of treatment, as well as delaying the management of your current situation. Since the pandemic is causing great challenges in the doctor's office, perhaps you could try services such as Hello Health or Maple if your doctor cannot see you within a week. I'm sorry I can't help you at this time. Have a good evening, Tom Samaha, Pharmacist
