Stumped toe

by Ana Ball
(Bristol, England)

I stumped my toe about 7.30 this morning and it is vey painful. It is now swollen and turning black and blue, as well as the foot area around it.

Does this mean it is broken or bruised or something along those lines?

Thanks

Hi Ana,
The only way you will know if it is broken is to have an x-ray; you cannot make that diagnosis just by looking at the toe.
