One day I had to go to the bathroom, and as I was sitting on the abode, about to give shape to a poo, I noticed there was no toilet paper. When, to my avail, I spotted a package of T.P just outside my bathroom door. So, in a lazy effort to prepair for a clean dung, I decided to shimmy with my pants around my ankles towards the tissues, when I SLAMMED my pinkey toe, with a bit of a twist, into the door frame.
Instantly, I moaned. making my girlfriend believe I was having a pretty nasty crap. when in fact, my toe was aflame. instantly purple, and sharp with pain. and since then, it's been more of a strain on the toe then a pain. much alike the feeling of wanting to crack a finger or toe. and I've broken others and don't feel like waiting 7 or 8 hours at the hospital to get it x-rayed and have the doctors tell me theres nothing they can do.
or for that matter...is there a way to tell?

Without the xray, you can't tell if it's broken or dislocated. From the outside, both look the same - a swollen, painful, deformed toe.
Often, I find that the fastest time to go to the ER is about 6-7 AM in the morning. If you can swing that, you'll often get in and out much faster - especially if it's a weekday night (meaning that the ER isn't still trying to dig it's way out from the weekend casualties!). Nonetheless, be sure to bring a book or a Gameboy just in case!

I've never tried it on breaks but it will work on sprains or dislocates. E-mail me with the results if you go for it.
