I fractured my left great toe about 6 months ago, and 2 months ago I went for a follow up xray because I was still having pain bending my toe forward, swelling, and decreased range of motion. Xray showed a small fragment of bone had come off at the ipj. I am able to walk, run, etc without pain as long as my toe isn’t accidentally bent down.
