If you've already been seen by a physician, you are probably experiencing a reduced circulation to your toes because the inflammation is compressing blood vessels. The advice they should have give you: RICE: rest, ice, compression, elevation. Wrap an elastic bandage only moderately tight (don't cut off circulation, it doesn't need to be tight) around the foot for 1-2 hr intervals and unwrap for 15-20 minutes, repeat. Ice packs for the first 24 hours. Elevate the foot on the arm of a couch. After 24 hours, the ice pack and elastic bandage wont be of much benefit.
