The toe joint could well be a knocked up toe but it would be unusual for the leg to swell as well so maybe a couple of things going on ie a knocked up toe and a strain likely caused by the same inciden, a pic would help to give more informed replies but as a general, if not to bad rest and if not improving vets.
