I broke my third toe 9 weeks ago, and sought medical treatment. I was told to do buddy taping. After seeing my family doctor at week 6, he didn t think another X ray is necessary as I am healing ok. However, after I removed buddy taping, the foot was still a bit swollen from the other, and I have experienced the sensation of numbness and stiffness on the toe and surrounding area since then. When I moved the injured toe, I also felt tingling. Is it normal, and would that go away? I am a 40 year old woman.
