A member asked:
Hi, i injured my toe a week ago. and it's still purple and painful at the joint when i touch it. should i have it looked at professionally?

Toe injury: Even if there's a fracture of the toe, treatment is only taping the injured toe to the next one and wearing proper footwear. You could consult a podiatrist if you want to know the extent of the injury and how long discomfort will last.
