I did this 2 1/2 months ago, and did it again today, yes the same toe, I was seriously holding back the tears....jeez, talk about bad luck. It immediately got hot, inflamed/swollen, it's purple now and I have a job where I have to be on my feet ALL day...what can I do to comfort the injury. Do they make any split like bandages for toes? I know they have them for hands and fingers..... Last time I just took asprin and dealt with it, my calves got so sore just trying not to put pressure on my foot. What can I do???/

tape the pinkie securely to the toe next to it, no splints made for toes, sorry. Ice it and elevate it whenever possible, take Ibuprofen to help minimize swelling. Stop going barefoot!! and watch where you step.
