Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My husband fell last night and does not remember what happened to him. He woke in the morning with a black and blue small toe. We thought he broke it and then this morning it was greatly red and inflamed so I asked him if he may have been bitten by something. He said that he did remember something sharp on his small toe. I am confused...but he does not have a memory or banging his toe on anything.....just waking up on the floor. Crazy I know.....any advice? Should I be worried?
Hi, Your concern is related to cause, and treatment. The cause are many and trauma, or insidious onset. the pain followed by inflammation can be a sign of infection, You should see your doctor and get investigated, with X Rays and blood examination, any fracture or infection are a thing of concern. Thanks
