A member asked:
Big toe and ball underneath hurt bad after injury xray showed no broken bones. four days later still extremely painful.

Re-xray: All injuries eventually get better. Sometimes xrays do miss some fractures. A bad sprain will still be painful because the injury is new. for now treat the foot like it has a fracture. If no improvement after a week or two, ask to have it re-xrayed
