How Can A Bruised And Stiff Toe Be Treated?

Hi, I stubbed my toe very bad on Tuesday night, and since then my toe has felt stiff it also got bruised all around the toe within the second day. Yesterday the bruising got darker but it does hurt less to walk on. Is there something I am able to do to help the bruising?

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,

In your case, there is a possibility of a small fracture in your toe. I suggest you get an X-ray of the toe before embarking on any treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Gopal Goel, Orthopaedic Surgeon
