Thanks for your reply. I would like to post my mother's case here since she has so many health problems like diabetes, high blood pressure, etc. (Not for this acute need)

Her toes are not very black and blue only a little. It is mostly swelling and pain. To me, because it doesn't seem like she really crunched her toes all that hard to make them break, I suspect some osteoporosis. She is 73 years old and had a hysterectomy almost 40 years ago, and never took supplemental hormones. VEry stressed out having to take care of my father who is a real grumpy old fart, along with being very needy, expects her to wait on him all the time (and that was even BEFORE he got all crippled up himself).

I'd have to order the other remedies. Have to make sure she would take them first.

thanks
