What happened to my toe?
Yesterday, completely out of the blue, I started suffering intense pain in the big toe of my right foot; the pain worsened when I varied the weight on the foot (it felt like it was going to explode.
When I got home, I removed my sock to find a small white bump in the middle of the underside of my toe - it looked a little like a blister except it was only about 2mm across - certainly the white middle part was dead skin.
I reasoned that maybe there was a thorn embedded underneath it, so I opened it up with sterile tweezers; there was no fluid inside, and it started to feel better almost immediately, but the area around it was darkened and sore, not unlike a bruise.
