Possible Subluxation of Big Toe - Seeking Advice

hey all, i'm not yet used to having dislocations but i think i may have subluxed my big toe? it doesnt seem like a full dislocation but it's been acting up since yesterday and i've been walking on the outside of my foot because of it. it's got a little bit of a bump/angle to it where my other foot doesn't and it hurts a decent amount (maybe like a 5?) when i walk on it. does this sound like subluxation? how do i know if/when i should go to a doctor?

I think that could be a subluxation, have you tried adjusting your toe yourself to see if that helps at all? If it keeps hurting for a few more days, I would go see someone. But hopefully adjusting it yourself provides some relief.

i tried adjusting it myself but no luck - it seemed to relieve the pain for a few seconds but then went right back. i also got a bit scared because some med articles said "don't try to adjust it yourself" but i figure that's also aimed more at full dislocation ::p
