Resolved question:
I dropped a 25lb. weight directly on my big toe (no shoe on) 36 hrs ago. Bruised, hurts, trouble trying to bend toe. Should I go to ER for xrays or wait to see if it heals on it's own?

Hello,
Thank you for your query at DoctorSpring.com
I understand your concern.
Such injuries can be risky since your bones of the foot are fragile compared to other bones. Since there is difficulty in bending and the fact that you have to put pressure while walking i would suggest you get an X RAY done to be on the safer side. I would have ordered an x ray if i was your doctor.
Get it done and let me know,
Best Regards.
