May want to see a doctor for an x-ray. If the toe is crooked, pain increases, or any bone protrusion, best to see a podiatrist, rather than a G.P

I have CRPS in my big toe. Mine started as a complication of multiple toe surgeries.

As inactivity of a limb is not a good thing for allowing CRPS to develop, it is important to come to a solution which will keep the toe sufficiently immobilized to allow it to heal, yet not restrictive to a point where the rest of the foot can't move.

I would stay away from ice if you have had or have CRPS. I agree with taking a higher dosage of vitamin C until the toe heals.

Good luck!

I had a simular incident two months ago, as I injured my foot that is affected by CRPS. The best thing you can do is contrast baths to help prevent the nerves becoming to sensitive.
Contrasts baths are taking the foot and placing it in hot water for 2 minutes and then immediately submerge the foot into cold water for 2 minutes. Repeat twice for each treatment and do this daily for a couple of weeks. It helped me immensly and prevented the injury into turning into a new CRPS issue. It feels back to it's normal pain levels after two weeks of the contrast baths. Hope this helps and I'm glad you came back to the group. Keep us posted on how you are doing.
