Anyone in the medical field on here? I woke up 2 nights ago with a throbbing toe, it was 3 in the morning so I just went back to sleep. That day I had trouble walking on it and it was incredibly hard to bend, I tried to go up a set of stairs walking to class and nearly doubled over in pain.
I've read on webmd it can be arthritis, but why would it just creep up on me all of the sudden? There is some blood under the nail it appears, and the entire toe is swollen and red. I run daily, but it seems that if I had managed to break/jam it on one of my runs I would've certainly felt it at that moment.
This is coming right on the end of a week vacation from work so I really can't afford to go see a doctor that is going to limit my activities for the next 2 weeks.
