This Little Piggy Went To Market

Three weeks ago, I tripped on the bottom steps and fell flat. My right big toe was swollen immediately & it was painful to walk on it. Since it was late at night, we decided not to go get the foot checked out. I had broken my other toe 15 years ago and there is basically nothing that can be done, except tape it up real good.

Two days later, the pain was so excruciating (I hope that is spelled correctly), that we did call the Doctor here in Guatemala and had my foot x-rayed.
It was not broken.
However, the x-ray machine was old. But at least it still works. My brother sells x-ray machines. I wonder if his machines look anything like this one?

Now, nearly 4 weeks since the incident, my toe is still aching. The Doctor said I should keep off my foot for 3 weeks and the pain should subside. It hasn't. I'm tired of taking Tylenol. Any suggestions?
