How to tell if my toe is broken?

How Can I Tell If My Toe Is Broken?

  • Hi There, I stubbed my toe about 20-30 minutes ago, and it still hurts--a heap more than all of the other toe stubs I've ever had (I'm very clumsy.) It is throbbing, I absolutely cannot bend it, and I cannot walk on it. It really hurts!! What should I do to it? Here's a picture of my toe (If you can't tell, it's the middle one). http://www.flickr.com/photos/51723117@N06/6306331585/in/photostream Thanks so much!!

  • Answer:

    It sounds to me like you just bruised it. Try putting some ice on it.

Just wait to the next day and see if it still hurts. If it still huts really bad and you still can't walk on it or bend it you should probably see a doctor. You might have just bruised it and the pain is still there.

tape it to the toe next to it.... for daytime... let it loose for nights but wear a slipper IN bed..... so you don't rake it or get it snagged in the covers.... that's all the ER would do for you... take asprin or Aleve for the pain.... broke mine twice.... feel bad for ya!!....
