My sister stepped on it, and then I ran it into a table. It's been kind of swollen for two days. I elevated it and put some ice on, but that didn't work. The pain goes in and out, but most of the it hurts to walk(I limp).I haven't been to the doctor yet, my mom hasn't taken me(I'm only 14). It's my pinkie toe on my right foot. Help!!

it might be. I don't think a doctor can do anything to help you. They can't cast a pinkie toe =( make sure to wear comfortable shoes and have your Mom write you a note for gym class, so you don't aggravate it more. It will heal over time.

If you can't move it then it could be broken. I'm pretty sure tht there is not much you can do for a broken toe anyway but wait for it to get better- but I would probably see a doctor if your still limping! Good Luck-Feel Better!

I completed had a number of them,,there's no longer something the physician can do for it,as properly supply you some sorry @ss discomfort pills,and you do no longer appear as if one to take pills...it somewhat is purple or does it have a purple line working for the period of it,,if so it somewhat is Broke or factured..tape it to the different toe,,do no longer run on it for extra or less 4 days,walk..it somewhat is going to take approximately 10 days for it to heal,even regardless of the undeniable fact that it somewhat is going to nevertheless be sore for a month,do exactly no longer stumble upon something if possbile.

Even if it's broken, there's not much else you can do. Try not to walk on it a lot. It will hurt for a while, but it will gradually get better. Even the doctor can't do much for you. Take some tylenol or Advil if you need it.

It certainly sounds like it is broken. You did not mention any discoloration which would be a great indicator. Unfortunately there is nothing medically that can be done for a broken toe. It will heal over time.

yes i think you did. i broke both my pinkie toes. you should get them checked out. mine was swollen but not bruised. it actually didnt even hurt that bad. they are easy to break. btu then again....it might always be jammed cuz those hurt really bad too.

for two days? i would go to the doctor and get it x-rayed. It sounds like a fracture to me, but I haven't seen it.

I USE TO WORK FOR AN ORTHOPEDIC DOCTOR. IF YOU DID FRACTURE YOUR TOE AND IT IS NOT DISPLACED. ALL YOU CAN DO IF BUDDY TAPE IT TO THE 4TH (RING) TOE.
