Swollen toe and foot
I was walking down the stairs 3 days ago and accidentally missed two steps and landed on one toe and right after it happened my toe and foot swelled up and bruised. I haven't gone to the doctors yet but I'm in a lot of pain and it's not getting any better. I was wondering if I should go to the doctor or not?
