Foot / big toe swollen, bruised and painful. what is the best way to heal this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
RICE: Rest, ice, compression and elevation. If injury occurred then get an x-ray to make sure there is no displace fracture and tape it to 2nd toe until you get it checked.

First I am a type 1 diabetic. I think I have 1 or 2 broken toes. It's the second and third toe after the big toe. They are swollen and bruised, but outside of that there is really no significant pain. Part of my foot above the toes is swollen also.
