I broke a toe
Fuuuuck...

Add it to the list of fucked up things going on!

What should I do?

It honestly made me laugh. I've never broken a bone! It hurt initially but when I looked it seemed "fine." I didn't know how bad it was until taking my socks off before getting in bed.

I was going to let my dogs out and one cut in front of me quickly mid stride and my toe caught her back leg. She was perfectly fine but I heard the crunch and it hurt pretty bad (high pain tolerance, this really wasn't too bad but ya know).

It's on my right foot, second toe in from pinky.

It's black blue and purple on both sides and the nail got ripped off probably from my sock.

My body definitely notices it.

It's more itchy and warm/swollen than anything.

I have work Friday, pretty big job, maybe one before then as well... Shit.

I want to stay far away from a doctor but what if it gets infected?

They'll put me on a ventilator and fentanyl for a broken toe!

Oh no...

hmm

Re: I broke a toe
Smashed my foot, same toe. Walked bare foot striaght into a wooden unit and split the toenail, agony.
There's nothing you can do, apart from strapping in to the adjoining toe and waiting weeks. Almost ok to wear work boots after a week without issue all day.
Be careful to strap it up in a manor that keeps blood flowing!!

Re: I broke a toe
I broke 2 about 1.5 months ago. I didn't go to the doctor. They will just tape it to the other one lol.


The only time you have to go is if it's all bent around backwards and you will know, like it will freak you out.


The black and blue is normal and will start clearing up in a week.

I grew up skateboarding... you can't do anything other than keeping weight off of it...

Maybe ice it for a day or two.

You never realize how much you depend on those stubby little things until you mess one up do you? I bet you get frequent reminders now. charlie Been there, done that.

If you have access to comfrey (look online) get a gel, and the plant and use the gel but also soak your foot in a comfrey foot bath. Speeds healing time up.

I looked about (In Canaduh) Dr. Christopher's Comfrey Ointment, 2 Ounce Seems decent...and the way you use the root/ leaf is simmer it long, filter out the leaf, add moar, simmer again with additional leaf/root, then do your foot bath! I had a broken hip client, his Dr. said "how did this heal this fast?', my friend said "you'll have to ask my witchdoctor Lance" and the Dr. declined to call...go figure!

Re: I broke a toe
I broke that same toe at 6th grade camp when I was a kid. Ran across the cabin in the dark, full sprint, and stubbed it on a bed post. Probably the most pain I'mve ever felt in my life. Like someone else said, there's nothing you can do for it. It will turn into a "hammer toe". It ruined camp for me but by the last day, I was actually running around playing soccer. But I was a kid. Be careful on your job!

I will never again discredit potentials as such. Medicines that vets won't recommend are what are keeping my dog alive... So what about modern medicine through hospitals and doctors? I don't trust it!

I have a bottle of ibuprofen I got in 2016 that I still have a few left of...

I'll give what you've said a shot!

It turned kinda grey and yellow now, pretty numb. Feels like when toes get really cold!

Got them taped now.
