I think I broke my toe...?
Question:
Thank you.
Answers:
If it is broken and you go to the doctor the only thing they are going to do for it is tape it to the toe next to it. My mother just went through it yesterday. If you keep it taped up the pain should go away in a week and it will take about a month to fully heal.
well if it is broken then there will be no cast cos its impossible to put a cast on one toe, it would be a waste of doctors time if you know it is broken already, i suggest that you just dont put too much strain on it and then it will heal itself... i am a footballer i have these injuries all the time, and time itself is the only true healer =D
go to the doctor
if u cant move it and it hurts real bad its prlly broken. and YEA U go 2 a doctor...idunno wat he will say prlly say its broken or somethin worse to geet ur money..idunno if u wud have a cast
go to doctor
Can you move it? If not it could be broken. lol a pinky toe cast. If its that bad then yeah you should see a doctor about getting it reset. It will heal on its own but it may not heal right if you aren't careful so a professional is advised.
if it looks really bad and you can't move it then go to the hospital and have it checked out. i broke 2 of my toes and have a cast on now.
IF YOU CAN'T MOVE IT..I MAY BE BROKEN.IF YOU GO TO THE DR..HE CAN'T DO ANYTHING FOR IT..NO CAST..JUST TAPE IT TO YOUR NEXT TOE...AND TAKE MOTRIN FOR PAIN..
When I broke my toe a year ago, I wore a blue shoe. If you don't know if its broken, you should go to the hospital. Does it hurt really bad when you touch it? Then go to the doctor. If it doesn't then its not broken. You must just hit a nerve.
Unless it turns purple. Don't go. Tough it out. lol
You prolly have AIDS and you are going to die.
Bind it with your next toe, then it won't be able to move. You also might want to try icing it, and try to stay off it for a while.
Try bending it back and forth, if it really hurts then it may be broken.
Did you bump into something or did something fell on it?
A falling dumbbell while you exercise can break your toe easy. You should remember the pain.
I broke my toe once while running to answer the phone and bumping my foot into the vacuum cleaner left standing in the middle of the room...extremely painful.
I knew it was broken because it was very painful and the pain and swelling did not go away so I went to the doctor for some x-rays because I was afraid to end up with a crooked toe.
After looking at the x-rays, my doctor told me I had an hairline fracture and it would heal on its own. All I had to do was to protect my toe while it healed...by wearing very sturdy shoes. I wore hiking shoes for 6 weeks...
I had more pain from muscle cramps because I was limping all the time than from the toe itself. Now I'm fine and I don't even remember which toe it was (right or left?).
For peace of mind, you might want to see a doctor, especially if the pain gets worse, or you just might wear sturdy shoes for a few weeks.
Hope you feel better soon.
Get some tape and tape it to the toe next to it fairly tight to keep it from moving for a couple of weeks. it if moves side to side easily it's broken but there's not much a doctor can do for the little toe.
If your toe is broken it will be swollen and you won't be able to move it. Plus you might have heard a cracking sound when you broke it. You should go to a doctor in case you may have a more serious injury like a fracture further up your foot. As for home treatment you could lightly tape it to the toe next to it and put ice on it for 15 minutes a few times a day.
Try to stay offf your foot with your broken toe and keep it elevated as much as possible. As for shoes try to wear something like flip-flops or some kind of open toed shoe that gives your toes a lot of exposure so they won't feel cramped. Unless your toe or foot is very seriously injured you probabl;y won't have to wear a cast.
Hope your toe gets better soon.
i have a broken baby toe right now...it's bruised(black) over the whole toe.i taped it ..it's been broken several times...just sore for several weeks.i guess it never bothered me enough to interrupt my day.
if its broken, it will probably be discolored, swollen and very painful to move and walk on.
go to a doctor just to check it out
if it is broken, its no big deal, they might get you a special boot to help releave pressure on it while walking and they might prescribe some painkillers if its bad
hope this helps =]
See a doctor....
