How do I know if I broke my toe?

Stubbing your toe may not seem dangerous however you can break a toe that way. Swollen and painful to walk on, chances are that you sprained or maybe broken your toe. How does it heel? Find out here with Harvey Danciger D.P.M.

How do you know? Because it hurts like a MF----r! OmG I just broke mine at 4:30AM this morning and 9 hours later I am in more pain than when I did it. Spending 4+ hrs in the ER ... not so much fun.

I slammed my foot full force on the edge of my door, attempting to run to my room. It hurts a lot and there is minor swelling, but I do not know if it's broken or not

I broke my toe last night. Did a test to prove my theory. Stepped in a shoe and the pain took my breath away. My dad picked me up to get xrays. My mom was working at the walk in clinic we went to. When it was time to get xrays I took my sock off and the radiologist was like "Yup, there it is, fourth toe" even just looking at it. Few minutes later the Dr. said I broke it, then my mom wrapped it. Tada

I kinda bent my toe on the rug with my body weight. It is in pain and I put ice on it ....the swelling is not so bad but it hurts...i can bend it just a little but not like I could have before. My question I guess will be if it is broken. How bad is the pain to get it put back in place?

OMG!!!! I said the same thing and my toe is painful swollen and red!!! Its like you read my mind. THANKS SO MUCH!!!! I seriously thought it was fine as long as I could move it and everyone told me that if it was broken I would be screaming right now.
