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.
Hello Dr. My name is Sandra, I miss a stair and hurt and injured my left big toe I believe it bent backward it been a week now and still swollen and thobss especially at night, I rub it with alcohol and bandage it is there something else I can do to treat it. Thank You
Hello sandra, First stop rubbing the toe with alcohol or bandaging it, as it will increase the problem. Consult an orthopaedician where he might ask for an xray to look if toe is fractured or not. Actually the toe is supposed to be buddy strapped ,cool application and pain relievers. It will take 2 more weeks to recover injury as injury is at toe and whole our body weight is stressed over foot and toes. Dont worry,consult a orthopaedician. Get well soon. Thank you
