 [ Symptoms ] do i need to get medical treatment for a broken big toe  dropped a large glass bottle on my big toe five days ago almost certain it is broken but how necessary is it too go to a doctor  i am currently traveling around europe in croatia now so finding a doctor may be hard the toe is swollen bruised and the joint does not move much the real concern to me is that there is a spot just below the knuckle that feels like there is bone closer to the surface than it ought to be bruising also appears to be spreading doctor or no doctor [ Disease ] hi at 87 years nothing much can be done to increase the blood flow to the brain at this age due to physiological ageing changes to the blood vessels the size of the blood vessels is reduced and some blood thinners can be prescribed to help a bit but i am afraid nothing much can be done at this age thanks
