Fracture in toe

2017-05-14 17:56:37
I have a fracture in my little toe. Should I get a cast? The radiologist said that I only need to bandage it to the next toe and demobilise it. I did it for 1 week but it still hurts.

Fracture takes 4-6 weeks to heal. Continue with the strapping for a few weeks to help you.
