It continues to bleed so often and leaks a liquid out of it. I can t flex my smaller three toes and its shooting pain into my ankle. Should I go to Er even though it s been two days?

hi,
thank you for providing the brief history of you.
As you had a lot of bleeding you should have a clinical examination done by a physician.
As most of the blood losing is not good for the body and the abnormal symptoms will surely occur.
also a thorough wound checkup is advised followed by a tetanus injection if not taken one in the past 6 months.
