What could be wrong with my toes?!
Question: What could be wrong with my toes?
I know this is gross.. sorry!
Over a month ago, I wore high heels all day ( I rarely wear them) and of course my feet were red and sore the next day.. I thought the pain would go away by now, but it's actually getting worse! My toes are EXTREMELY sensitive and it drops me to the floor in pain if I accidentally kick something.. One of my toes looks like it was hit with a hammer, but the others look pretty normal (maybe slightly bruised looking).. If i run my fingernail over the tip of my toe I get the sensation that there is so much pressure inside that it might explode with blood! It's freaking me out pretty bad!
I applied for health insurance 2 days ago, but I'm still waiting to be approved.. I can't even use it until 14 days after applying :(
Any ideas about what is going on, or what to do until I can see a doctor???

If your toenails were long, you may have bruised the nerves behind the toenail, behind the cuticle, in the toes themselves
Take aleve for the pain, wear sandals to take pressure off you toes and elevate your feet as much as possible until you see the doctor.
No socks and sneakers! That makes it worse.
If you must exercise, do barefoot yoga
sounds like a ingrown toenail i had them it hurts and the surgery is very simple!
