Foot Injury, Painful, Bruising, Hurts To Walk. Should It Be Checked?
I think I broke my big toe? Today I was about to get a pedi when I was adjusting myself in the chair a my foot slipped and bashed really hard into the side. It really hurt but I continued even though it hurt really really bad. I know the only thing they will do is tape it but should I go and get it checked out anyway. It did bruise all most right away and hurts to walk. Should I get it checked out.

Hi friend
Welcome to Health Care Magic
It is wiser to get it checked anyway.
A complete fracture may need immobilisation. A simple crack need is easy to deal with.
The discomfort can also be from the bruise.
You have not stated your age - increasing age may need investigations for osteoporosis.
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck

Hello Dear
Thanks for your query.
Yes you should get it checked up by an orthopedic surgeon.
XRay of foot is needed.
If there is fracture , immobilisation is needed.
The pain may be muscle pain too. Taking Aceclofenac-Paracetamol combination tablet will help reduce the pain.Serratiopeptidase will decrease the swelling.
But don't take medicine without doctor's prescription.Get a medical check up.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
