I was playing basketball one day when my friend landed strait on my left little toe. The darkest its gotten is purple. Its been swolen now for atleast 4 weeks and is red. I can't move my joint closest to my nail. Its swolen from that joint up. I want to go to the doctor to see what they can do, but my mom won't take me because she says they won't do anything. Basketball season is comming up soon! What happened to it? What should I do?

It sounds broken. I'm sorry to say there isn't much they can do for a broken toe. I went to the Doc once for the same problem(had stubbed the heck out of my baby toe and it was all swollen) All they did was tape it to the toe beside it for support, tell me to ice it and keep it elevated. Tylenol for pain... I'm sure they will tell you the same.
Good luck! :)

It is bruised, u should of put ice on it soon as it happened.
U need to elevate the entire foot on the edge of the sofa
Try to soak the foot in hot vinegar water.
Go from ice to heat...20 min ice 20 min heat.
Fill an empty drink bottle and put one in the freezer and put hot water in the other.
Also yogurt is good for bruises, put some yogurt on your toe.
Good Luck and take some Motrin.

I have not have been given any theory... comparable factor befell to me , yet didnt hit it and hit hurts like loopy as quickly as I stroll. besides, no would desire to bypass to a Dr all they could do is tape it to the subsequent toe

most likely they will tape it to another one of your toes most likely the toe next to that one, but i have to say that your avatar and mine almost look alike and after all who knows what better for you than a guy who apparently looks like you, yeah but in all seriousness they will tape your toe and tell you not to participate in athletic events and hard work for a few days

they would tell you to tape it up next to the toe next to it, and take advil for the pain. And then Charge you $75

you might have broken your toe if you could move it then it wasnt broken but if you couldnt move it then it was broken and it probably needed to be put back into place and if it still hurts go to the doctors!!!!!!!
