Pinky toe? Whats up with it?

Question

I think I did something to my pinky toe. Its purple (dark) and really swollen. Advice?

Answer 1

Did you hit it against something?

Did you wear really tight shoes?

It could be bruises, broken or fractured, without more information I can't help.

Ice it and put your foot above your heart, take an advil.

EDIT:

Thanks for the information. If is more than likely a nasty bruise. Tape the pinky toe to the the toe next to it. Medical Tape (white easy to remove) is best. Only then you are walking. While you are at home resting keep your foot elevated and ice once or twice a day for 10 minutes.

Again, take some Anti-Inflammatory medication like Advil.
