A member asked:
Last year i broke my ankle in 3 places. today i hit my 2 smallest toes on a case of soda & my ankle is throbbing severely. should i worry?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, worry enough to: follow the RICE ( Rest, Ice, compression & Elevate). Take some Ibuprofen and it should improve within 48-72 hrs if its only contused. If looking deformed, then it might be dislocated or broke, so get to an ER or your Doc for Xrays. Good Luck.
