I don't feel any pain or anything. Every time I move my big toe up, it feels strange. It feels like if it's with the bone. I don't feel pain or anything, it is just a weird sensation. Is something possibly wrong? It's not the big toe itself. It's a little bit before my big toe. It's like where the big toe begins. That's where I feel it. Might something be wrong. LIke I said, I haven't felt any pain or anything. It's just a weird sensation on the bone when I move it up.

I can put weight on it. Like I said, I don't feel pain. But it feels weird. I lift my other toe up and everything feels fine.

The bone doesn't feel out of place though. And I touch it and nothing seems wrong. But I've been moving it and I have a tingling sensation left. Is that bad?

Trying to determine whether your toe is broken or just badly bruised can be difficult. Here are a few telltale signs that’ll help you differentiate between the two. Of course, when in doubt, see your doctor.
1Step OneRemove your shoe and sock and feel for any deformity. Gently run your fingers up and down your toe. If your toe feels crooked or lumpy, it's more likely that it's broken than sprained.
2Step TwoWiggle your toe. Severe pain suggests the toe is broken.
3Step ThreeListen to your toe while wiggling it. If you hear a grating or popping sound, a piece of bone may be rubbing against another piece of bone.
4Step FourCheck for swelling. If your toe is double its size in puffiness and the skin is stretched, your toe may be broken.
5Step FiveCompare your injured toe to the same toe on the other foot. If the injured toe looks shorter or deformed, chances are it may be broken.
6Step SixCheck your temperature. Within two to three hours after a bone breaks, the body's natural defense mechanisms automatically raise your temperature. A fever above 99.6 degrees F suggests the toe is broken.
7Step SevenTry to stand for a minute or so. If your toe is broken, it won't be able to support your weight. A broken toe will tend to buckle underneath you when you stand on it.
Tips & Warnings
The only sure way to know if your toe is broken is to have it X-rayed.
Never try to "walk off" a broken toe. A piece of broken bone might rub against vital body tissues and cause permanent damage to ligaments or nerves.
If you experience two or more of the above symptoms, see your doctor or go to an emergency room for a toe X-ray.
If you have any questions or concerns, contact a physician or other health care professional before engaging in any activity related to health and diet. This information is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice or treatment.

Take my word for it. If you really did break your toe, you wouldnt have any doubt. Check at the base of the toe. Is there any discoloration? Unfortunately, the only thing a doctor will do is immobilize the toe and tell you to take it easy.
I broke my big toe in the faucet of the bathtub and beside being embarassed, I taped it to the next toe and wrapped gauze around it. It didnt take too long to heal, but if you feel as though you need to-see a doctor.

You bet you can. I have on both of my feet (at different times). The right foot was when I stubbed it super hard on the door jam and it fractured the bones in the upper foot, where it bends. The other time was when I slipped on a wet ceramic tile floor and my foot hyper-extended. Both times the breaks were confirmed by x-rays. The symptoms for me was super extreme pain. What did they (the doctors) do for it, nothing.

I broke my toe once. They can't really do anything for it; but you should still get it checked out.

Might be sprained, might be cracked, might be broken, you might have just stubbed you big toe, I don't know, ask your doc and do what you're told.

If you can't put any weight on that foot without excruciating pain, you did. If you can walk, then it's a ligament.
