I don't remember the details, but a friend's mom had problems with a toe when something (don't remember what) blocked some small blood vessels.
I can't think what this might be either. It seems like a leech treatment could do no harm and may do some good, and it's much cheaper than an MRI (assuming you have a handy pond that is full of leeches.)
Advise checking with Coach first though, since he is like the Axis.
Axis? Is that a WW II reference?
Anyway, things seem to be mostly ok. Just have to elevate it once in a while, and I iced it a couple of days ago which made it pretty cheery. Seems like it will resolve itself.
That is a musical reference!
Good that it is getting better, and better will be when it is well.
Like I said, just ask the Axis. ; )
