Is the swelling near the toe nail, or just the entire toe?

It may be an ingrown toenail, or something like a calous! So...trim the nail, if it is, or just let it be and see where that takes you.
Hope this helps

It sounds like a ingrown toenail.. I had two one each of my big toes, I went to the doctor and they cut it out. Don't let it get too bad, because it could get infected. When you go, they will numb it and take out with a pair of pliers (or that's what they did mine with) and then they will scrape it too look for infection. It may not be the same everywhere but that's how they did it in Salisbury.

Get it looked at by your doctor, theyll have an answer for you in seconds. It does sound like an ingrown toenail or broken toe but its best to get it looked at by a professional.

They were going to do that to both of mine, but the infection got too strong for it to be safe to 'operate'. So they just give me really strong antibiotics and then removed them about 2 weeks later.

It must be ingrown and possibly infected, If it was broken he wouldn't be able to walk effectively and he would be in more pain than he says he is.

It don't sound like it is broken... If it was, then he wouldn't be able to bend it or walk all that great.
