Suggest Ways To Speed Up Healing Of Widening Chip Sight In Toe

I dropped an object on my right second toe approx 6weeks ago. Xray after 2 weeks showed a chip that was healing. Now 6 weeks post injury, the pain and swelling aver not resolving. A repeat xray showed bait more widening at the chip site, but healing. Have been walking and hiking as comfort allows, but should I be resting more? Or what else would be helpful to hasten healing.

In your case some time it may take long to appear healing in X-rays. At present you may have calcium and vitamin d supplements to hasten recovery.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
