Suggest Treatment For Bruising And Swelling Toe

I kicked a wall about three weeks ago which resulted in severe bruising and swelling. It seems like I broke my pinky toe, but though the bruising is gone and the swelling is now minimal, it is still very painful. Would a doctor visit be a waste of time and money or should I suck it up .

hello
Thanks for the query.
There are chances that you might have fractured your little toe.
It will be better if you visit a doctor and get an x-ray done.
An early diagnosis would be helpful in fixing up the bone if there is any fracture.
Delay might lead to Mal alignment of the bone.
I suggest you to meet a doctor.
let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you
I find this answer helpful
