Its bern about a week now and my toe is still very swollen red and bruised. I can not walk right and i can not bend my toe. Should i go to the doctor?

Hi,
It seems that there might be having nail bed infection following injury and detachment of toe nail.
Consult your doctor and if nail is fully detached from nail be, it should be removed.
Go for one antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicine course for 3-5 days.
Go for dressing daily.
Ok and take care.
