Broken toe?
Hi, The small toe cannot be fixed, it will heal with time. The other toe should heal by itself too. You could put something on it to immobilize it. Do not use close-toe shoes to avoid putting pressure on them. Good luck with that. READ MORE
My ankles are swollen?
Infection: The invasion and multiplication of microorganisms such as bacteria
Is my toe fine or do I need to go to the doctor? (would prefer not to)
If you had an infection your toe would be pounding which would produce an intolerable pain. I don`t think I am mistaken by saying you do not have the symptoms of an infection. When an infection is under the nail, it will make the size of your toe grow due to the pus and that would make you scream. READ MORE
