What Is The Treatment For Pain In Toe?
Hello-
I hit my pinky toe on the side of my sofa on Tuesday morning and I am still in pain. Its been really hard to wear shoes, it hasn't changed any colors and I didn't break the nail. But it hurts when I touch it and its a little puffy. Should I be worried & is there anything that I can do to help the pain?
Thank you kindly!

Hi
Thanks for posting
My suggestion for you are-
1.Ice fomentation and Ibuprofen to ease pain.
2.Do the gentle strapping of 4th and 5th toe,with bandage.A word of caution if pain and swelling increases on strapping remove the bandage at once.
If the problem persists you may see a doctor.
Take care
