I think I broke

My Toe! I had flip flops on and I tripped yesterday and slammed my foot into someones brick garden. Today my toe is humongous- bruised and I really cant move it. Its the one next to my pinky toe (The piggy who had no roast beef lol) and I know the dr cant do anything about it.

awwwww that stinks! yep, unfortunately nothing can be done for a broken toe. i know your pain...i broke my pinkie toe (the one who ran alllll the way home )once and it hurt like hell! best wishes for a speedy recovery!

oyy i've broken so many toes, including the one you're talking about! it majorly stinks but you're right the dr. won't do anything. still, you should buddy wrap it (use medical tape to secure it to the toe next to it - not the pinky the other one), take an anti-inflammatory, ice it and elevate. that should help with the bruising and pain a bit! feel better!!!!

I did tape it to the other one and I iced it last night - I will do it again today.
Thanks!

Ouchhhhhhh, that hurts soo bad! I'm so sorry! Hope you feel better soon!

When I broke my middle and ring finger toe?? , the doctor had me put a little cotton in between them and medical tape them to the toe next to it. That's it. My co-pay is $25. Feel better. Keep your leg elevated and toes iced for 48 hours. That'll be another $25!!

no no no
dont tape it to the next one, make a splint, its really easy, but hurts a bit.
take a popsicle stick and put it on the underside of your foot, then cut one in half and put it on the top of your foot, tape the two together, but dont squeeze. your toe will heal straight this way. if you tape it to the one next to it, it COULD heal crooked.
trust me on this, with dance i've broked quite a few toes... and I actually shattered 3 of my toes (ouch)

take some anti-inflammatory and ELEVATE your foot ABOVE your heart... it should heal pretty soon, depending on the break.

feel better!!!

Oh Celia - I hope you feel better!!
