Suggest Remedy For Soreness In Toe
My husband, 62, dropped a railroad tie on his foot two weeks ago. I told him to go to urgent care for xrays but he refused. Now, after two weeks, one toe is still extremely sore although not miscolored at all. Could it be broken? If so, is it too late now to do anything about it?
