What Causes Painfully Swollen Little Toe With Bruising?
Hi, I stubbed my little toe about three weeks ago. An X-ray showed it was not broken. But the bruising extended to the next four toes and it is still swollen and painful. Icing and elevation do not seem to help. Should I return to the doctor? Thank you Barbara
