numb toe post fracture

In July, I injured my right great toe.
It had to be broken, it was the worse orthopedic pain I’ve ever had.
I wore a cast shoe we had at home, but never saw a doctor.
It has been 2 months now, and I still have numbness on the dorsal surface of the toe.
Also, some discoloration (redness), but not always, and tenderness.
I can tolerate the symptoms, but will go see a doctor if there is really anything that can be done.
Any advice?

    If your question actually is whether there would be something that could be done to fix the problem immediately, then I do not think so. If you question is should you go and get more information and see what an x-ray of your foot looks like now and see if your bone is healing, then yes I think you should go. I like to say “To see is to know, not to see is to guess.”
