How Can Constant Toe Pain Temporarily Treated With Pain Medication Post An Injury Be Completely Cured?
Question: I fell down the stairs and hurt my toe on my right leg, its been 2 weeks , i went to the pharmacy and they gave some medicens but it still hurts
Brief Answer:
You need an X-ray
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
If after taking painkillers your pain is still there then I would suggest you get x-rays of the foot. Most probably there is a fracture in the toe. It will need splinting. Splinting is bandaging your injured toe to nearby toe. It will give you pain relief. You can also share your x-rays with me.
Hope I have answered your query.
