The triage person would report this in the hospital as "Rule out osteomyelitis". Oral antiobiotics do not form high concentrations at the foot and toe and will have great difficulty in penetrating the bone. The problem is usually due to a compromised immune system (which can have other causes besides diabetes) and a loss of microcirculation. Sometimes antibiotics are injected directly into the toe.

Also my right shoulder goes to sleep or gets sore more often than my left, when I sleep on it. So what can you tell me now? I also noticed my right arm over the past weeks has felt sore in the muscle, like after you swing on a swing too long, and need to unbend your arm.
