Is it broken ? (Pic)

I crunched my second toe on Monday. I’ve had it strapped since then and the wrapping came off today cos I went for a swim. Now I can see the bruising goes down to the top of my foot.
I’m posting this in chat cos I’m just looking for opinions.

No pic, did you see a doctor and have an xray, they don't do anything except strapping or buddy.

We're not all trained medics. You'll get a range of opinions.

Probably. It is relatively easy to break a toe but the good news is they heal quickly again after.
The guidelines are not to XRay unless visibly deformed or other specific concerns. We would usually encourage you to keep it strapped, wear supportive (hard soled) shoes, ice pack, elevate and rest.
Usually better in about 4-5 weeks
