Suggest Ways To Speed Up Healing Of Widening Chip Sight In Toe
I dropped an object on my right second toe approx 6weeks ago. Xray after 2 weeks showed a chip that was healing. Now 6 weeks post injury, the pain and swelling aver not resolving. A repeat xray showed bait more widening at the chip site, but healing. Have been walking and hiking as comfort allows, but should I be resting more? Or what else would be helpful to hasten healing.
