How to Wrap a Broken Toe

What to do if you break your toe. Don't bother going to the doctor unless the bone is sticking out or you think you broke more than just the toe bone.

@GardenOfImagination you were right, the doctor didnt do anything, just told me to tape it and itll feel a bit better. I had a fracture. Said itll heal in 4-6 weeks, not bad. Hehe I can use this as an excuse now to take it easy at work and ppl wont work me as hard. I have a bruise to show too, yeah! I was hoping that so Id have proof =P Damn I wanted to see my xray, why dont they show you!! Does your toe look normal as the other foot now? please say yes =(

@henry244 Sorry to hear about your broken toe! Ouch. My toe is perfectly normal. The only time I notice it was broken is sometimes when the weather changes. It will ache. Your body parts try very very hard to heal themselves. Your toe will be just fine.

And be sure to work that excuse about having a broken toe. Except say that you broke the Phalange bone. Or better yet... say "The Doctor" said you broke your Phalange bone. You should get SOME usefullness out of going to the doctor.

Is it ok to walk around and stand for a long time like that?

[GardenOfImagination]

@henry244 Probably not as good as staying off of it completely, but moms must be moms.

@xXsolidgamer24Xx U should go 2 the doctor 2 get an x-ray 2 rule out the possibility of other bones broken behind it.

If u can't afford the doctor, what this lady said is true. They can't do anything 4 a broken toe, so don't sweat it.

You're looking at a 2 to 6 week recovery time. Possibly up to 2 or 3 months.

It's better to use a crutch (one) to get around on. The more you stay off of it, the quicker it will heal.

Go get supplements from the health food store that speeds up healing.

You buddy taped your toe wrong. You need to put a spacer between the toes. I just broke my toe and it hurt too much to buddy tape.

7 weeks later and it still hurts. I found documentation on the net it takes 6 weeks to 3 months for it to finally heal.

@tazz73000 after the X RAY what did the doctor do??

[greenhoneybee08]

My toe looks just like yours right now! a small table fell on it. IT HURTS! I compressed it with ice and have kept it elevated but was thinking if maybe I should go to the doctor...? I can move it a bit but it still throbs.. :( REALLY? the doc did nothing about your broken toe???

Good info. I broke my next-door-to pinkie toe whilst making some blackberry cobbler. When you're klutzy, even baking is a dangerous activity.

[tazz73000]

lol, yep, i can tell it is painfull, i just done mine two days ago.. done a xray, it is broken and it look like yours.. Thanks for the advice, little pinkie is happy now.. hope yours is now all fine.. avoid those bricks as i avoid the terracotta flower pot.. hahahaha
