Answers:
First thing is that the incident must be reported!. It is not a law suit but a protection for both the employer and employee!. As for the pain use ice on it for about fifteen to twenty minutes!. You can put you foot on a bag of ice or just put the entire foot into a large basin filled with ice water!. That should help to take the pain and any swelling down!. Was there any puncture in the skin!? If there was when was the last tetinus shot!? If you have not had one in the last five years get one!. The company should pay for the visit to the doctor under their insurance policy!. The problem with injuring the big toe area is that it takes about fifty percent of the entire weight that the foot is bearing at anytime!. Go to a pharmacy and look for Dr!. Schol's products!. Find adhesive foam or ready made foam cutouts!. Make your own to fit your foot by cutting out a piece larger than the area where the pain is and cutting out a spot in the middle!. That will allow the rim to carry the weight and avoid placing weight on the area that is painful!. If all it was is a bone bruise it will take more than a few days but it will go away within about two weeks!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
