Injured Toe After A Fall. Discoloration And Pain. Chances Of Fracture?
I fell yesterday off of a step I did not see. I was standing near it and backed off of it. When I landed, the majority of my weight was on my left big toe (and under it). Today, my under my toe is black and blue. Is this a sign of a break? It hurts pretty badly, I am icing it. I can bend it, but it is not feeling to good to do so.

Hi,
It seems that there might be collection of blood due to injury resulting black toe.
There might be soft tissue injury as well.
go for x-ray to rule out fracture.
After consulting your doctor go for antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines course.
You can go for ice-pack application.
Ok and take care.
