I am 12..I was skateboarding, then got off and my 8 yr old sis came and I dunno how it happened I just felt shooting pain. I can barely walk, It hurts too bad. There bruise there isn't big, a few centimeters. The whole toe hurts, including about an inch after the end of the toe..There is a bump a bit after the middle, and the bump is big and hard. Please help. I don't wanna go to the doctor...they wont to anything for toes. How can I treat it at home?Thanks:)
P.S: Even if Its not broken how do I treat it so there isnt that much pain...thx

yeah it might be broken or fractured but the docs cant put a cast on something so small.. i reccommend RICE rest, ice compression and elevation stay off of it for a while and keep it iced... take some aspirin and itll go away eventually

Maybe you just need to calm down. My dad used to hate it when I would cry for something when I got hurt. In the second grade, I broke both wrists at the same time and let me tell you, that HURT LIKE CRAZY! But I held myself together and barely cried at all. What I think you need to do is just calmly go to your parents again and say that you hurt your toe and you're sure it's broken and ask them nicely when you can see a doctor. I know parents can be frustrating, but the calmer you are, the better ok? They'll listen. He might have been in a bad mood. If he still is, go to your mom. Good luck, Hang in there. :)

I am sorry to break it to ya but you have to go to the doc. He will do something!!!If it is broke you have to get a cast.If you cant walk or it hurts to walk on it I think it is fractured or broke and then you will have to get crutches and use them.TELL YOU'RE MOTHER OR FATHER OR WHOEVER IS WATCHING U!!!!!!!!!! This could be a very dangerous situation you have to go to the doc!!!There is NO way you could handle this problem at home.I never broke a bone in my body.(Well once I bumbed my foot really hard on a hard piece of mettle and it hurt so bad I could not walk on it.It was just Sore Not even 1 little bruse was on it.I could not walk on it for about 3 or 4 days.I had to kinda drag my foot around it hurt so bad.But it was not Broke,Spranged,or Fractued.It was just brused really bad with out the bruse part showing up.)But that was it.But you could get hurt from this!!!Go to the doc,he will help!!!And I Hope I Helped you with your problem!!!Good luck with you're toe!!!

you cant treat it yourself,if it is fractured complications can set in, and you could end up in a far worse predicament than you are in now, the chances are that is not broken as such but may have an hairline fracture, this can cause a host of other problems including blood poisoning ,gangerine, go see the man stop being soft he wont make it anymore than it is doing already. regards LF

Broken toes are hard to fix. I used a clean popsicle stick and taped it to my toe to keep it straight. It took almost a month to heal. Wear open sandals and try to keep your weight off of it. Take Tylenol for pain. Let Mom kiss the "booboo". just kidding!

When I was 13(im 17 now) I thought i broke my toe. I went to the ER. They took an x-ray of my foot. It turns out that even though the pain was in my toe my foot was broken. Please get it x-rayed. Good Luck

Hon, IF it's broken you need to seek medical attention. As far as them not doing anything for toes, this is not true, you need to see a podiatrist. They are specialized and meet the qualifications to deal with the feet and bones associated therein.

If the Doctor "won't do anything for toes", what does it matter? Don't skateboard until it feels better.
BTW, where the heck are your parents? If you are 12 you should be asking them this question not us

I had the same problem after I hit a chair. Only the x-ray will tell and if it's not that bad the doctor won't put the cast on...it'll heal on its own.... check it though.

You need to see the doctor even if they can't do anything about it. You could have other areas of the foot damaged that will cause alot of damage and problems later if you don't find out - now.
