My legs are hot to the touch, red and swollen. I went to the dr for this twice, 2 rounds of antibiotics...Keflex and Bactrim. They helped while taking them, now its back and worse. I also get what appears to be blisters on my calves - no reason. Been dealing with this about a year or so.
Hello, Thank you for your question. If you did not have any trauma on you toe then I think it as a type of arthritis called gout caused from uric acid crystals deposits in the joint. Your kidney may produce this kind of crystalloid and urine test will confirm or exclude this diagnosis if it is Gout then there is special medication for it such as Allopurinol or Colchicine or others. Wish you quick recovery.
