Did a marathon on Monday and all was well. Then it came back again, can't remember if it started again tues or wed but yesterday ( wed) it was quite painful when I got back from my run/ gym session. The bit between the actual toe and ball of foot seems to be where the pain is coming from when I prod and that bit is swollen as well as general swelling around the toe which is obvious when compared to the other toe This morning it doesn't feel too bad Any ideas?
