foot injury?

Question

I HAVE TWO BROKEN TOES.ONE IS MY BIG OR GREATER TOE AND THE SECOND ONE ON MY LEFT FOOT.A METAL OBJECT THAT WEIGHED ABOUT 500 LBS THAT SMASH IT .HOW LONG NORMALLY WILL IT TAKE TO RECOVER AND WILL I SUFFER FROM A SLIGHT DISABILITY

Answer 1

No you wont suffer from a disablilty. It may take several weeks for your toe to heal back. There isn't much that a hospital can do for a broken toe. Except tell you to take tylenol or something for the swelling and the pain. And use an ice pack. Rotate it from ice to heat if you need to. Ice for 15mins, take it off for 30mins. It helps with the pain as well. Don't worry though, your toe wont fall off. If it does, maybe consider plactic surgery?? :P

Answer 2

I'm sorry about what happened to you.

Presuming you were treated by a Doctor and she made sure that the broken bones were aligned, the bones should heal.

If you suffered nerve damage to nerves in your toes, you could suffer from a slight disability due to your loss of complete ability to use one or both of those toes (depending on whether the nerve damage, if any, was suffered in one or both toes.)

Do you seem to have complete feeling in both toes? Can you move both toes (at least as much as possible given the fact that they are broken)? if you answered yes to both these questions, odds are you do not have nerve damage and will have a complete recovery.

Hope this helps you. Your Doctor, upon examining you, can tell you if you might have nerve damage.

Answer 3

bones usually heal in 6-8 weeks

Answer 4

6 - 8 weeks normally. You might/might not suffer permanently.

Answer 5

With the big toe, it will take awhile. the nerves thru. your body will be affected
