Hai, I just broke my toe next to my big toe, it doesn't look very happy, it is definately broken, I have asked a few peeps already, what's the best action to take?
 
Ice it to minimize swelling, and you might want to get to a doctor asap

Well..I have a high pain threshold, I had some painkillers aswell though. I read that it's best to just rest it unless certain symtoms come up.
 
cut it off...

i keed!

yep, ice and elevate. go to the ER if there is an open wound or it starts turning blue. at least call your GP. he/she can direct you.

But what if it turns green? or a colour iv'e never seen before? I go to the doctors and they turn into monster and want to eat my toe, and then the world blows up? :O!

But in all seriousness, thanks, but from what Iv'e seen, bruising is likely to happen a few hours after the accident, but is not seen as a bad thing, only if it goes grey or something that you definately should go to the doctors?
 
How did this happen? For kicks really I don't have any better advice :P

Well I landed awkwardly whilst doing my daily workout, and bent my toes UP, thus the bone is broken downwards.
 
See a doctor ASAP such that they can advise after a check of it.

The last thing you need is a blood clot and pulmonary embolism from something that seems so "minor."


be well,
Ian

The joys of the doctor, I will have a discussion with the car driver tommorow, I have heard a few cases, of people just leaving it, only to find it very bothersome as they get older. I will seek medical attention ayeee. :P
 
busted my big toe on my left foot once and it never healed right. now i kind of walk with a limp until i get some health insurance, been this way for a few years so i'd recommend getting it checked out regardless. i never realized just how important our toes are to equilibrium and all that so it's def worth it.

Ahh, sorry to hear that. And also

+1 You just helped out my girlfriend figure out why she has walked a bit funny, well not funny, just with a little less control then normal, she had the same incident. So thanks. :)
 
Well I havn't gone to the doctor yet seeming as I broke it quite late in the night, I will try and go today, it has a bluish purple bruise where the break happend now as the skin must be damaged or something, other than that all I can do is rest it, until I go to the doctor.
 
cut it off. it is weak.
