Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I broke my Big toe exactly one week ago from a 12 lb bowling ball falling on it. I went to the ER and it is a confirmed break. I was given a special shoe my job requires me to walk a lot and the ER did not give me a light duties note the pain has subsided for the most part but after my shift today I noticed bruising on the third and fourth toe at the base. It is purple/blueish color. The tip of my big toe is also numb. Is this cause for concern?
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, if this is the fracture one then it need to be managed accordingly some time it may need surgical intervention such condition need to be taken very seriously, better to see the orthopedic opinion, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
