I broke my pinky toe and the doctor splinted it to the two toes next to it. it seemed to hurt more. when i removed the tape it was dark at the base. ?

Bruising: Bruising is normal with fractures. Sounds like your doctor was trying to immobilize your pinkie toe by splinting. Sometimes the homeopathic remedy arnica 30c (available in health food stores) will help reduce the bruising and swelling.
