I have stubbed my toe

Posted , 4 users are following.

I had an xray and not broken but still a problem 5 days later. I suspect soft tissue damage. What to look out for? Affects my lower leg which gets very stiff but can walk in sandles and a walking stick

    Sometimes hair line fractures only shiw on Scans. Can you tape and get an orthopedic boot for a few weeks. Sounds like it needs to heal.

      My husband is a retired Radiologist.

      Said still could be fractured or a piece of ligament or tendon.

      Remember all the horse injuries??😤
