A member asked:

My friends toe hurts to walk though it is not bruised my friend says they don't do anything to help it what should they do and what would a doctor do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Who are they?: I'd certainly help, and i think any other doctor would. We would evaluate the toe see if there is an issue withe nail, possibly take an xray, evaluate the biomechanics and have some presumptative diagnosis and plan at that point.
