What happened to my big toe?

Question

ok so i was at a party last night.. helped kick down a door, but later i realized i realy hurt my toe. I can bend it down maybe half as much as the other toe. When I put them next to eah other, the hurt toe is more swollen and its darker - you can see purple and blue. should i see a doctor or will it heal by itself.

Answer 1

Does it hurt badly when you bend it? If so, you should probably get it x-rayed. Might be broken. At least mobility isn't compromised. I trust you've learned a lesson about kicking down doors? Try icing and elevating and then see how it is in the morning.

Answer 2

You broke it. I did the same thing this past summer and had the exact same symptoms. (OK I didnt get drunk and kick something but I did pass out and land on my toe weird.) The doctor cant do anything about it. It will heal in a month or so. Just say no Dude.

Answer 3

it is probably jammed which will heal its self. if its not your big toe even if the doctor looks at they wont do much they will brace it with another toe and send you home. unless you are bruised in your foot an dnot just the toe then you make broken your foot. I usally let it heal its self unless its my big toe or foot

Answer 4

well i think it should heal by itself.i remember hurting my finger when my cousin slammed the door on it.it turned blue-black of course but it healed on its own.
but of course if the pain and the swelling just keeps getting worse...then it would be better for you to see a doctor.
