Suggest Remedies For Painful Swelling In The Toe

Yes I do - I believe I have broken my middle toe on a door frame. It is swollen and black and blue and painful but still can walk. I had a knee replacement on the same leg in Nov of 2015. I also have a history from 49 years ago of a pulmonary embolism after an auto accident. Should I be concerned that the fx toe could cause another if I do not get a blood thinner started?

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,

Send me xray of toe in AP and oblique view and send me the report.

Nothing can tell without xray.


Thanks.
