A member asked:
Think i broke my toe 7 weeks ago. pcp would not x-ray. still black & blue, swollen at the joint, and feel some pain. what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See orthopedic doc: If still black and blue usually means fracture. The main thing is whether any displacement of fracture fragments or type of fracture. These findings are usually determined by radiograph. I would request to have consult with orthopedic physician. You may need some additional immobilization and if fracture displaced need reduction of fracture fragments.
