How Can A Painful Bruise On The Finger Post Injury Be Treated?

Hello my name is Julie, 10 days ago I hit a 10lb. weight with my little too finger I didn t put anything it hurt a lot, so the next day was sore with a bruise on it , and I remember me that I walked for 20 to 30min., as you see I didn t take care of it. So I stopped walking for two days, the bruise was gone and it will hurt less, but now the pain came back. Now nothing can touch to it

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

Trauma to little toe may lead to minor fracture, and that may be the reason for persistent pain. I would advise x-ray of the foot anteroposterior and oblique views to rule out bony injury.

If it is normal, then ice packs application and tab diclofenac sodium 50 mg twice a day for pain relief should be taken. If x-rays shows fracture, then buddy strapping of 4th and 5th toes for 3 weeks and heel walking for same period is advised.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Jayesh Vaza
