Contusion big toe
I went to ER cause I thought that I broke my big toe and it turns out that it was a contusion.
My question is why does it still hurt a month later?
It still hurts if I move it.
It makes me think that I did break it. I find myself babying my toe so no one hits it.
Any suggestions?

There is a possibility that the ER missed the fracture. That happens sometimes especially in foot x-rays when they are looking at small bones and the x-rays are not taken in standardized views. I think a new x-ray preferably from a podiatrist might be helpful to see what is going on.
