Do I need to take a break from traveling? My right toe hurts and it’s swollen (alien.top)

The joint part of my big toe hurts. It makes me limp. Can’t fully raise my right toe, or squeeze fully. It sometimes hurts a bit like it’s broken. I did not hit it anywhere. It started slowly yesterday. And I walked quite a bit yesterday.

No problem on my left foot.

I’m using new shoes after like 6 years. This shoe (winter boot) puts more pressure on my foot. I’m also walking more than usual.

Ps I’m not asking for medical advice :)

I hate to take a break from traveling because all my bad habits come back when I take a break. It happened last month and it was genuinely horrible.

This scenario can be found in page 104 (paragraph 5) of the official DN Handbook. I’m afraid it doesn’t look good (shakes head). How are your amputation skills and do you have a relatively sharp knife?
