broken toe???

Question

if you break a toe does it neccasarraly have to swell up and lose all movement. I hurt my toe jumping from a wall (on a drinking session :-p). it hurts to bend and walk, there is slight bruising on the knuckles but still has fall movment (all be it painful) and never swelled up, could it be broken or does it sound more like a tenden???

thanks for the responses folks, sounds like its broke, i know their aint much i can do but iv never broken a bone before i just wanted to know :-). I would go to the doc but it would be just a waste of time, ill tape it up and be done with it.

Answer 1

Not necessarily.

Toes don't really matter except to foot models.

Maybe you could be the Cindy Crawford of foot models!

Buddy splint your toe by strapping it to the adjacent toe and take pain relief (paracetamol / acetaminophen)

There is no actual thing that they do if your toe is broken. You don't need an X-ray unless it is obviously deformed.

Your toe might be broken or it might not be.

Answer 2

You probably did break your toe, and most of the time you just buddy tape them together. But sometimes it requires more than that depending on the break. You really should have a x-ray to make sure. You can have problems down the road if you ignore it.
Alot of times you need a walking boot for it to heal properly.
Hope you feel better!!!

Answer 3

Don't go to the doctor it's a waste of money. Just tape your toe with the toe next to that one. That is what the doctor did when I broke my first toe....I've done it a few times. Okay, and I broke my arm 2 times and my leg 1 time. I'm graceful!!

Answer 4

First , deal with your drinking and jumping from wall problems.
I broke my big toe and doctor advised against doing anything except trying to stay off my feet for a while. Perhaps you should have a Podiatrist check yours out, just to be sure.
P.S. My toe still hurts a little but I can still walk without any problems.

Answer 5

I've broken a toe and it hurts bad. I couldn't bend it, it swelled up and turned black. It's best if you see a doctor so your sure. However, I wasn't given a cast 'cause I couldn't get it on my toe. So you could just give it time to heal too.

Answer 6

I stumped my toe once well not once a bunch of times but this one time it was winter and really freakin cold well I stumped my two into a freakin medal heater really hard it didnt sweel but hurt to move and had a lil bruising also I went it got it checked out like 3 weeks later haha turned out I had a hairline fracture they didnt do nothing though said it would heal on its own oh well it did

Answer 7

I broke mine while drunk as well. I think I was wrestling. I don't think there is anything they can do at the hospital. It only hurts when I try to pop the knuckle. It was never swollen or bruised but AI can dsee where it is now crooked. I'd say leave it alone and it will get better.

RE: bypass to well being practitioner for broken toe? I broke my vast toe a pair days in the past. it fairly is been rather painful as might nicely be predicted, yet not insufferable as long as I toddler it. some human beings think of I might desire to bypass to the well being practitioner, yet I dont think of there is any experience to bypass. extraordinarily plenty the full actual of my toe grew to become pink and now blackish, and the area of...

Answer 9

It could be broken. If you are able to walk without pain, I wouldn't worry too much as long as the bruise goes away soon. If it hurts when you walk, you might want to see a doctor.

Answer 10

maybe broken, maybe jammed, maybe what used to be called a bone bruise.

It is possible to bend a broken toe, but it hurts.
The lack of swellling is more suggestive of jamming the toe than having broken it.

this is all just opinion, based on MY toes - i am not a doctor.
