Swollen toes, no pain

Hello.
I am under ongoing consultations with my doctor, but am yet to find an answer.
I would appreciate some advice.My toes have been swollen on my left foot, for several months, but without any pain, except from the added pressue.
It is worse in the evenings, at the end of the day.
Two courses of anti pbiotics haven’t helped.CT scans of glands was normal. Scan for clots in the legs was normal.
Seeing Arthritic/joint specialist soon, but would appreciate some comments.

    Without seeing and evaluating the situation, it is merely a guess. One possibility is some type of rheumatoid arthritis (possible psoriatic arthritis which we look for the classic “sausage toes”.) The arthritis specialist will likely run some very specific blood tests that may be helpful in aiding the diagnosis.
