DS is complaining of pain on the pad of his big toe, where the toe joint connects to the foot. He says it hurts to walk on and when he lifts his toe up, almost feels tight like it's pulling when he moves his toe up. Apparently it's been going on for quite awhile and he didn't feel the need to tell me while we spent 3 months at the orthopedics office dealing with broke bones and a dislocated knee. I tried to research and nothing sounds quite the same, but possibly sesamoidtis. The thing that gets me if he's been resting for 2+ months because of all of his injuries that he hasn't done much physically and the pain never went away or got better according to DS. Does anyone have any ideas or experienced anything similar? And do I take him to a podiatrist or an orthopedic?
