What Causes Bruises & Contraction In The Toes?

The day before yesterday as i was getting in the shower, my toe (the one beside my baby toe) started to contort and felt like it was breaking all by itself. Then it hurt all night and the next morning it was swollen and black and blue..i limped for a few hours then it stopped hurting and seems fine now except for it being bruised..what happened?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

It looks from your details that most probably you had a bad cramp at your toe. This did lead to injury to your soft tissue so that it did swelled and bruised. I shall advise you following to have relief in this:
- Do cold fomentation over it
- Take a mild analgesic like advil or aleve for relief from pain

Probably problem goes away in 5-7 days. If problem continue to exist then consult to your doctor and get a X-ray.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mukesh Tiwari, Orthopedic Surgeon
