How long will it take for my toe to heal?

Question

I was walking down the steps and my toe bended. Idont know what to do. It also bleeds at times and i dont have time to get x-rays. What should I do?

Answer 1

Make the time.

You could loose you foot or leg to an infection.

Answer 2

If you have an open wound that is not healing or the toe is hot to the touch you need to go to the doctor. If your toe is straight and not curled under you can tape it to a neighboring toe and wear stiff soled shoes (like cross-trainer sneakers) until it heals. I just recently broke my toe and went through this. There's not much they can do for broken toes. Don't keep walking around barefoot, it won't heal if you keep moving it.

Answer 3

There is nothing they can do about a broken toe-I know, I break them all the time. Keep it clean to prevent infection and it will heal up to where it stops hurting in about a week.

Answer 4

Your toe is most likely broken. I'm sorry you don't have time, but you must find a way to go to a doctor or else that could turn into something more serious. Good luck!
