Toe Fracture
This morning I slipped and jammed my toe into a cemented brick. It was numb for a while, before the pain set in and my toe started to swell up. It grew until it became unbearable, and I got a sudden headache and my ears started ringing and I felt very dizzy. I had to sit down and one of my friends got me a painkiller. After that, I went and gave a 2 hour exam. I saw the nurse later and she put some ice on my toe, along with a cream. After 5 hours from the time I fell, I went to the doctor and got an XRay. He says it's a ligament tear but I feel like I need a second opinion because the pain is too much, and I'm unable to walk. I've been prescribed some painkillers, and I was given an injection. If possible, I would like it if some doctor could LOOK AT MY X-RAY REPORT and tell me what they think.

It is very difficult to confirm or rule out fractures on the images you sent. Xrays need to be seen on a good quality screen with appropriate software or the film needs to be seen placed on a view box. If a particular toe is injured, the xray beam should be focussed on that toe.
