Should I get my toe checked out?

Posted by sweetlife @sweetlife, Aug 29, 2019

So about 4 years ago I went horseback riding ,and the horse stepped on my pinky toe! It hurt really bad but I brushed it off as a little pain and took some meds. Ever since then it has always been crooked to the side at a weird angle. A few days ago it started hurting again when I walk. Maybe a 6 out of 10 in terms of pain. I'm starting to think I should check it out because it looks a little swollen.

I think you should get it checked. When something hurts and persists, it is your body trying to tell you something. You won’t be able to make it stop hurting until you do.
