I noticed this morning that my big toe on my right foot is bruised in a circle around the bottom as if I had put a ring on it. The bruise is black in color and at first I thought it was dirt but it didn t wash off. It doesn t hurt too much but thinking it might be broken I taped it to the toe next to it and to the foot itself since the marking was so far down the toe. Besides going to get an x-ray how can I tell if it is broken? And if it isn t broken, what could it be?
