Pain in big toe and outside of foot

Question

Asked for Male, 24 Years

I am a runner, felt some uncomfortableness in my big toe but never enough to stop. Got progressively worse until one day I had a lot of pain on the outside of my foot (4th metatarsal). This was 3.5 weeks ago. I could hardly walk for just over a week and have still not returned to running. Post-injury I also discovered a large lump on top of the knuckle of my big toe which has yet to subside. My guess: ganglion, bunion? Possibly paired with a stress fracture on 4th metatarsal?

â¢ Contrast bath---It is a form of treatment where a limb or the entire body is immersed in warm water followed by the immediate immersion of the limb or body in ice water. This procedure is repeated several times, alternating hot and cold. Note that the treatment should always end in the ice water, as heat will induce the body's inflammatory response, while cold helps to decrease inflammation.
