I jammed my toes into a wooden planter box a couple weeks ago. My big toe nail is bruised, but doesn't hurt anymore and my next toe it swollen, red and painful. I have tried to ignore it thinking it's just jammed and would get better. It seems to be getting worse. It doesn't hurt when I wake up, but as soon as I step on it I get a shot of pain. It a lot the more I walk on it. I think it might be broken, but feel silly going to the doctor. My husband has been taping my second and third toe together for 2 days, but I don't think it's helping. Do I just need to be patient? How long will it take to heal? Six more weeks?
