I Found Out That My Big Toe Is Just Badly Bruised

I wondered why only nurses took care of me in the ER then I realized last night.My big toe is horribly bruised' but I don't think its really broken as its not nearly as painful today.But the toe 'is black and llue, and itches like crazy too So the thing is this will heal a lot faster than a break hence they did not meed a doctor to see me.But its odd I was not given the courtesy of telling me the results of the x rays. So I'm better off than I thought.Just wanted to share Im not so bad off after all. One original post and graphic by P Hatley copyrighted 2017

glad to hear, but yes, you should be informed of the x-ray results to confirm the condition...

I think it is good that it is itching. Glad it wasn't broken or anything. Glad you did share this. I was wondering.

There's not much they can do for a broken toe. (I know from experience.) But it's funny... in the book I'm currently reading, the lead character's grandmother broke her toe dancing to an exercise tape.

@Hatley I'm afraid the aches and pains increase as we get older, don't they? But hey, we're still here!

That's great news! I hope it is not broken, then it will feel normal much sooner. Next time--God forbid--you are in that situation, ask to see your x-rays. You have a right to see them and I don't know why they didn't take the time to show them to you. Sometimes you have to be assertive!
