My big toe is swollen brused and hurts really bad been to dr say it isn't broke went back to dr he took toenail off still no better please help?

Not enough info: Were you injured? Were you placed on an antibiotic? Why did the doc remove the toenail? It sounds as though he felt you had an infection but without seeing or more info it is difficult to say. I do think you should be on an antibiotic if the nail was removed.
