hi everyone,

its been a while since I posted!

a quick one really, I broke my little toe back in June stubbing it on a box, obviously I know the doctors don't do anything for toes so i saw the pharmacist strapped it to the other toe and left it to heal. its been about 16 weeks since the break and while it doesn't cause me too many problems it clearly hasn't healed properly its still painful at times and still swollen around the bottom and if i run my finger over it, it dips in the middle. when compared to my opposite toe it does not look the same. i contacted my GP about it last week and just felt i was not taken seriously she simply said (on a telephone consultation without actually seeing my toe) that i should just ice it and elevate it or strap it i explained that i did all this when it was originally broken and that my issue is that its now 16 weeks since the original break but she really wasn't interested and basically fobbed me off. has anyone any advice of what to do next.
