Reply To: What do you do for a swollen toe?

What happened was that I banged my toes against a chair or something when I was running to answer the door. They hurt a lot at the time, but it was only several hours later that I realized it was purple. You mentioned something about infection, CTLawyer, and you got me nervous. Was that just because you didn’t realize that all that had happened was that I banged it into a chair. Do you still think it requires medical attention?

It’s still purple, but it’s not warm to the touch. I don’t know if it ever was.
