Approximately 17 years ago I had a table fall out of a truck and broke the tip off of my toe bone. At that time, the doctor told me it would likely cause more problems to remove it compared to leaving it as is. At that time I was given a special shoe to wear and told that nothing else could be done but if I had problems the broken tip might need removed. I recently hit that toe extremely hard on my bed frame and have been having severe pain at the end of my toe. The pain has been severe enough that just putting on a sock is not possible and any amount of pain surpasses extreme when touched. Even the pressure of blowing air on it is not tolerated. I just didnt know if removing the broken bone in that toe is something that definitely needs to be considered. Could you please give me your opinion and thoughts as to what course of action I need to take? Thank you.
