Do I Have Broken Bones In My Toes?
I stubbed 2 of my toes yesterday, my foot, just below my toes, I used an icepack, kept my foot elevated and didn t put weight on it last night as the pain made me feel sick, I have a bump on my foot and its slightly red and swollen, could I have broken a bone?

Hello,
You may have not broken any bone. But for a safer side, an x-ray is good. Using crepe bandage or immobilizing the part in ankle brace or stocking will help. Do hot water fermentation and keep it elevated. If it's a fracture you will get to know in 3 days of time. But usually, it never fractures so easily as lower limb muscles are too strong.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
