I think I broke my pinky toe yesterday, there is some swelling farther toward my forefoot as well, but the pale blue bruise extends over about 1/3 of the top of my foot and seems to be spreading still. I have to work tomorrow in safety toe shoes, and it is difficult to walk. Is a Ace style bandage recommended or is there something else I should be doing?
His have gone through your considerations I were treating you in my clinic I would get a X-ray of your foot. Two angles at right angle to each other to look for obvious fracture. I would splint it to immobilize it. I would suggest resting that part. I would prescribe analgesics such as diclofenac 100\u00a0mg or ibuprofen provided that no allergy to these Chat Doctor. Furthermore, I would also suggest calcium and vitamin d supplement. In my opinion you should consult orthopedic surgeon. Hope you got the answerer quarries will be appreciated. Wish you good health
