Toe still not good eight weeks after fall.

I fell eight weeks ago down the stairs and really I badly hurt my foot. My whole foot was purple bruised and it hurt more than when I've broken a little toe in the past. It's the worst pain I've ever experienced. However an x-ray was done and I was told it wasn't broken.

Eight weeks later the bruising has gone but my toe is still very visibly swollen, and a different colour to my other toes, and if I rub certain points of the toe, there are two distinct white areas where it feels like a hard sore point under the skin. (I'll add a photo with these points circled). The area on the top of my foot near the base of my big toe is still tender too.

At first it was very very very painful. Now it's just painful. 🤷 I'm still limited what foot wear I can wear.

Would you/ should I go to the doctor?

I often struggle with what I should bother a doctor with, but I feel like 8 weeks in it should be much better?
