- Wondering how to treat and manage a broken toe? The good news is, a lot of this can be done from the comfort of your home!
As always, remember to seek care from a medical qualified professional if you are concerned about an injury. With regards to toe injuries, it is prudent to seek medical attention especially if you have: injuries of the great toe, open injuries (where the skin has been torn/lacerated as a result of the trauma), displaced/shifted injuries with visible deformities of the toe, or injuries causing pain at the base of the toe/in the foot/metatarsals.

POV: you just stubbed your toe a bit too hard and now you’re here
Yep 😂😂
Yes actually 🤣🤣🤣
No it’s broke
@@cinnerficationsame diff
Broooo I fucking stubbed it 😂😂
Who else just broke their toe? 😂
Should I just leave it or go to a hospital?
16th August 2024. Me at 11:15 pm at night 😢😢😢
I’m in the middle of sea and hit my toe going in the boat, your video took my concerns away thank you !
Glad I could help!
Thank you. Busted my big toe last night and my roommate who has some medical training says there's a joke amongst nurses. "Know what you do about a broken toe? Nothing".
It's like a broken rib except much more pleasant.
So grateful to hear that it does heal on it’s own. Stubbed my toe yesterday and we’re scared to go to the hospital because of the covid situation in my country.
Wishing you a speedy recovery! As always, if you are concerned, please make sure to go for an in-person assessment!
@@DxTxlast year I kicked the bins on both feet had my trainers on let things get to me too mulch
Had a bad day they were black metal bins can it still heal it self
Thank u, thank u, thank u!!!! U are so awesome for this video, my husband injured his toe badly lastnight..now I know how to help..thank u❤
My husband really banged his toe up this morning after running into our bathroom sink in the dark. He worked all day on his foot/toe in a hot factory - I have no idea how he did it. I didn't know about this until a little bit ago when he came home from work and was limping. Thank you for the advice and tips!
Wishing him a speedy recovery!
I am SO grateful for this video - it has taken a load off my mind! Cheers ~
haha, i’m having a great time rn 🙃
Has it healed alr mate, just broke my middle toe, doesn’t hurt but I’m assuming it’s gonna hurt tomorrow and I wanna nip it in the bud so I don’t have it hurt like my other I broke a few years back
@@bg6107 bro i just broke my middle toe and i wanna die
@@lognttickle it felt like death for a few minutes but couldn’t feel it after did this and it’s fine now 👍🏻
I broke my big toe, it absolutely sucks
@@BrownieeeHD dude, luckily my big toe didn’t break, but there was so much blood in the nail bed, it’s still growing out the blood :,)
Thanks so much for this video. Just banged my pinky toe and Im sure it’s broken. I have icing, pain meds and lots of rest.
Great advice! Came here for a little reassurance of proper management. I’m quite sure I broke my pinky toe but I’m on top of the discomfort like white on rice. Thanks for showcasing this video and giving such a detailed explanation revolving conservative treatment. Blessings

Thanks for the support and I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
@Pelu Pelkar Hello! Sorry to hear about your broken toe. In general, ~4-6 weeks for broken bones to heal.
Your descriptions and explanations are so clear and concise. Thank you!
Thank you Younes! I really appreciate your feedback and support!
Thank you. I feel much relieved nw, coz I banged my toe and was upset for the pain and swelling .
My toe hurts just as much today as it did when I hit it with my mom's wheelchair two years ago. I never knew to try the buddy taping. I'll try it. I'm really tired of this pain. I didn't find any helpful advice when I looked at the time. Thanks
Thank you so much for this,I was debating rather or not to take my son to the doctor
You know....I had three different doctors tell me to absolutely never "buddy tape" a toe. Never under and circumstances. I really feel that you are correct. I don't know if it's just a gut feeling or what. The other doctors didn't seem particularly bad or less experienced. I just broke my middle toe but I'm not going to do anything about it as of now. I hopefully will just limp it out lol. I may end up having to tape it or something tomorrow. I'm not looking forward to a ten hour shift constantly on my feet and moving at a fast pace. It us what it is though. Thanks for the solid medical info doctor!
I just broke my middle toe too :(
How is your third toe now, Mr. Big? Any swelling left under the skin after breaking it? How did it get broken?
This is good to know! Thank you. Relieves my worries
Thank you for confirming what I thought. (If I go to the ER they will just send me home. Its been two weeks and Im feeling a lot better)
You are so welcome
Best video I’ve seen on this. Saved me a trip to the doctors office. All my stubbed toes have healed on their own and I get them often sports related . Despite the swelling and bruising I’m still training with it just carefully . Doing things that don’t aggravate it followed by ice and Advil’s
Thanks for the support and glad you enjoyed the video! If you are ever concerned / worried, I always recommend getting an in person assessment as there are always nuances (i.e. big toe injuries etc).
I do mma. We were light sparring tonight and while throwing a teep the guy lifted his knee so my toe mashed into his knee. Went to patients first and got an xray it's broke. So glad this is a minor injury that resolves itself, I'm supposed to be doing my physical at Meps for the navy soon.. really can't afford to get hurt right now.
Hey I did the same thing, how long did it take your toe to heal? 100% ok now?
Dude thank you!!! I've been searching on TH-cam for a while and finally a straight up answer!!!
Sensible video. Yesterday I managed to injure my middle toe while wearing sandals. When I looked at it, it was sticking up and the end was bent across at an angle. My mother freaked out when she saw it. But I had to drive us home (somehow, with some bad words!) and after driving it looks straighter. Today I have bruising; if I put weight on it, I feel a 'popping' and it hurts. I'm not going to the doctor because I don't want to drive again. If it's still bad in a week, I'll ask a friend to drive me.
Thanks for the support Wendy! I avoid providing individualized medical advice but I always recommend seeking an assessment sooner rather than later if you are concerned about your own health. Especially with fractures that are displaced, it may be more difficult to “set” the longer you wait! Speedy recovery
Yes! It was very helpful! Thank you!🙂
Thank you so much ! First really helpful video in a whole youtube
Thanks for the information i thought i need a surgery or something but its just needed the buddy tape
My pleasure! As always, I recommend an in person assessment if you are concerned as this channel is for educational purposes only! Wishing you a speedy recovery
Thanks for the info, this sure gave me a good Idea as to what has happened to my toes. I now know what i should be concerned about and what i shouldnt be concerned about.
Thanks so much for the support! So glad to hear that you found the info valuable! All the best.
Ty for your video. I broke one toe in costa rica 😢and it’s def broken. I splinted it and kept moving on with life til it heals
Definitely dealing with this now, as I stubbed my toe really hard yesterday, and now it’s really sore and purple. How long would you recommend I wait before I continue physical activity like running? It’s so annoying since I’ve been on such a running grind lately 😩
Thanks for your support! I refrain from providing medical advice on this channel as every case is different/I always recommend speaking to your qualified healthcare provider with concerns about individual care. Generally speaking, we recommend 4-6 weeks before fractures are healed. A general rule of thumb should be "if it hurts, don't do it".
I’m glad I’m watching this because I fractured my toe last night
Wishing you a speedy recovery! Remember that these videos are for educational purposes only and to seek an in person assessment if you are concerned!
Thanks for the Information.
My wife broke her toe last night and dislocated it as well. We went to the emergency rom at a hospital, they did x rays and its fractured at the base where it joins the foot. Buddy taped it and off we went. We live in Australia, they prefer to x ray in case it requires surgery especially if its the big toe.
Did her toe heal? I have a big toe fracture and it’s just not getting better, getting worse. Never any bruising and it’s been months.
GREAT video. Thanks so much for your help.
Thank you very much! This video was very informative!
It's actually making me doubt my doctor's treatment. I fractured the base of my proximal phalanx of my 5th toe 4 days ago and he just prescribed a form fit ankle strap and painkillers. However I'm still in a lot of pain (I can't even wear a sock due to the pain) and now my entire leg is now swollen with pins and needles.
Kindly advise
Thank you Doc
Dropped a piece of cabinet wood edge first directly onto the joint of my big toe, that was first point of contact for the piece of wood so i got full force on the joint from around 5 ft height. It's sore, got tingling/throbbing sensation shooting down my foot and up my leg to my hamstring. Cannot curl my toe fully so finding it difficult to walk on although I can walk, just have a little bop. Fun times.
Don't know if I need to get this checked out or not. Don't want to waste doctors/nurses time at AnE.
@@Nocturnal_Neil Hi there, thanks for your support. I refrain from providing individualized medical advice on this channel as it is for educational purposes only and I cannot comment on cases when I have not personally seen/assessed you! Big toe injuries can be a bit more complex, especially if near the joint. I would recommend going in for an in-person assessment! Best of luck.
I actually broke my toe (my mother checked, she’s a nurse btw) and this did help! Thank you
Thank you for the helpful info!
Your info was very appreciative
Thanks Tyrese!
I hurt my toe nearly 9 months ago and it still hurts like hell
Hope the doctors find better options in the future.
I ended up with a semi limp toe joint on the big toe which effects my walking
Thanks for the comment Freddy and so sorry to hear about your big toe injury. Big toes are the more complicated toe fractures that often require closer management. Even still, unfortunately even when those injuries occur, the risk of surgical repair etc will outweigh the benefit...nonetheless, I always recommend being assessed in person to ensure that there are no other concerns/need for follow-up - especially when it comes to foot/big toe injuries!
@@DxTx Thanks for the answer. I didn't do any sort of rehab with it, which would have either helped or uncovered the issue earlier.
Thank you for this valuable information.
Exactly what I was looking for😇
Mines broke on the left foot the pinky, got to orthopedic tomorrow to put back in place glad I came across this viedo. Mine the opposite from the otherr and can't get it tapped.good one more day of waiting to get in seeing a doctor
Hey. So um I hit my toe on the corner of the walls and it cracked, and it turned bluish purplish and blackish. It is crooked. It's really big and hurts when I walk or just move it in any way. What should I do? Especially bc I'm a dancer
Sounds like you need to be assessed at an urgent care by a qualified healthcare provider if your toe is "crooked". This is one of the few times that we would try to put the toe in a more "appropriate position"/make sure it is "straight".
I went to the clinic. The buddy taping, ace bandage and post op shoe was very painful. The boot that I was given was much more comfortable. Buddy taping, even lose still hurt. I don’t think that I will have to wear the boots more then 2 to 3 weeks. By then, it should be heeled enough to wear a shoe. Because the swelling will go down.
Unless it’s an open fracture or deformed, I would go to the clinic the for an X-ray. It’s too expensive to go to the hospital, even with insurance. The clinic can make you comfortable, at least. It depends on how much discomfort you are having. Then, you can get a referral to an orthopedic doctor, if needed.
Thank you very much for the information
Thanks I'm a taekwondo player ans I broke my toe during training and it's frustrating cause I can't train wepl cause it hurts, I'll go take some rest thanks again doc
You will not believe how I did this I was catching a ball while working at Walmart bc they don’t give af what we be doing o was looking running full speed hit a cart now my left big toe is a bit angle to the left more got X-rays it was broken but it’s glad to know hopefully I won’t need that much more I’m going to a specialist Monday wish me luck
So sorry to hear about your injury and wishing you a speedy recovery! Big toe fractures can be a bit more complex (especially if it was angulated) so I am glad you are getting the care you need! Cheers
Awesome! Ty for the advice!!!
Broke my big toe bad yesterday its gone black around area below the nail. Guess nothing I can do it's straight can't move it but this has informed me
Broke mine 20 yrs ago they tried to pull it back in with no success so ended up with surgery and a k wire inserted. After a few weeks pin removed and the toe is perfect 20 yrs later
I accidentally lifted a water heater 2 feet in the air and slammed my toes. It was purple and it hurt, but all toes can curl and spread and they are straight. May take 4 days and get back to it, but still considering an X-ray just to be sure.
Thanks Doctor . This is the best video I have seen on the toe injury . . I have two fractures in my big toe as I slipped in rain . Can I still continue walking or should I avoid putting any weight on the leg ? Asking as was planning to get a moon boot .
Thanks....awesome clip
i broke my pinky toe 4 days ago… it’s causing so much weakness in my entire leg.. is that normal?
Any update on when it subsides plz? I’m only 24hrs in but my pinky toe is prohibiting any pressure on my left foot. Thank you!
It's been 2 months since I broke my toe and it is still kinda swollen. It doesn't hurt anymore it's just annoying to live with. How much longer do you think it will take for it to be normal again?
Same actually i think im at the 11 week mark
4 months later and my toe is almost healed. My podiatrist said everyone is different and im young but the break was real bad so dont get discouraged if it isnt healing in the typical 4-8 weeks
I have been fully healed almost 2 months ago now and toe is no longer swelling 😀😎
@@Jbelly275 That's good to hear same here finally lol
@skenderhunda2683 have you healed ?? , and what you did for treatment
Thx for your valuable information...🇮🇳♥
Person: I think I broke my toe.
Doctor: Sucks for you, go home.
Thank you your video and of information on it.
Thank u bro appreciate 🙏 💯
Thanks for the support!
@@DxTx most definitely 👍
Hey doctor so today while playing soccer I hit my toe on the pitch and it hurts so much, when I walk I feels pain and could.move it a little does it mean that my toe is broken
Hello, thank you for watching. I am a PA and it is hard for me to provide medical advice without assessing you. If you are concerned, I recommend following up with your healthcare provider and I hope the video helped answer some of your questions/concerns.
Broke my toe (its all purple and hurts like hell)
Wen to the doctor
And made me put some bandages so the bone doesn't move
It helps with my pain.
I smacked my toe 4 weeks ago on holiday, really hard into swimming pool steps. It was swollen and I couldn't get a shoe on for a week. Then 3 weeks after, the pain was much less. It has now been 4 weeks. I can walk and cycle, but do you think I can run on it now? I can still feel the site of injury, but it's like a 2 / 10. Please reply, my doctor doesn't want to know!! And will not x-ray me because they 'don't x-ray toes' after waiting 3 hours in a&e!! Thank you xx
Last night. Black and blue, swollen, pain.
Broken a lot of bones, even dislocated my little toe. Never broken a toe.
I think I broke booth my toes 🥲, thanks for the video doc !
I banged my little toe on a door frame it went really swollen and a little bit blue but nothing like I’ve seen when looking at broken toes. I taped it and iced it which helped a little but is still hurting two months later and there seems to be a little bump at the top of my toe the toe is still swollen now and painful but not to the extent I have gone to a doctor I have just been coping but it keep getting better and then worse and I don’t know what to do. Any advice?
Hello! Thank you for your support/comment. This channel is strictly for educational purposes so I refrain from providing medical advice especially as I have not seen/assessed you. If you are 2 months out and still concerned, I think its a safe bet to get assessed by a qualified healthcare provider! Wishing you well.
I was drunk one night and fell down my stairs, I knew I hurt my toe but didnt look... The next morning I woke up and my foot was throbbbbing, i took my sock off and my toe next to my big toe was like sideways lol and all bruised, my dad " popped it back in place " but my whole foot bruised and it hasn't been the same since and still gives me trouble/pain to this day. I also can't bend it. I
Sounds like you need to go in for an assessment +/- an x-ray
Thank you so much I definitely broke my toe kicked it so hard in my door entry and then kicked it again in my garage couple days later just horrible it’s all swollen but it’s not pointing any new direction so great I’ll just wait and deal with it for now thank you so much for this information 🙏🎀
No problem and thanks for your support! As always, if things are not getting better/you are concerned, please make sure to follow up with a qualified healthcare provider who can do a full assessment!
@@DxTx thank you so much it’s getting better swelling is going down I really appreciate you 🙏
@@DxTx It’s still healing, still swollen, but it’s going down... just wondering 💭 what is the chances of me wearing heals again?!? Omg I’ll die !!!! All these shoes 👠 👠👠👠
@@monikarancsova7008 has it healed? Banged my big toe into a rock yesterday, hurts like a mofo I can't step on it at all.
3yrs later and I’ve broken my Prinky toe! 4 days before sports day as a Yr6 To!
Pov ur toe next to ur big toe is bruised AF and your foot is lightly swollen around the finger
Watching this now
Thid happend to me yesterday with my big toe went too doctor Tdy and found out it broken went home with a brace and cruches
Ok, but it hurts like a mother. My toe throbs, pain up the top of my foot... My toes are tiny like my 5 yr olds have bigger toes than me... They are so tiny and this is the 2nd time in 6 months that I have broken toes on left foot. Pinky and the next toe are both broken... But the pain is miserable. I have broken my heel and had several surgeries. I need something stronger but no one will give them to me since they treat everyone like an addict.
Yes toe fractures can definitely hurt! Some tips of controlling the pain: buddy taping for support, wearing supportive footwear (hard soled shoes) and making sure you've optimized pain medications. In particular Tylenol +/- Advil (as advised by your qualified healthcare professional). Wishing you a speedy recovery!
I'm 61 years old I broke my toe probably about 5 years ago or at least I stubbed it I didn't think it was broke it really didn't swell however it's the The tone next to my big toe and it's now the tippest crooked I try to straighten it out but of course it won't stay straight and I can't put pressure on it because of course now that first knuckle wants to take all the pressure from the weight of how I walk and it's painful I can't get surgery and do a splint because they try doing that When I had bunion surgery and they had to go in and remove the metal because I was having an allergic reaction to it. Other than using one of the tow bandage type of splints is there anything else I can do to correct this or does it just stay this way forever now?
Thanks Doc 👍💪

Hello - this channel is for educational purposes only and it is difficult for us to provide medical advice when we have not assessed/examined you as a patient. In general terms, the fracture you have described should heal well with minimal issues. Hope you are feeling better.
Hi Dr.! I think I broke the toe next to baby toe about 5 weeks ago...it was very sore & now, just a bit. However, I am concerned because the bone is now a bit crooked & leaning somewhat too close to the baby toe...definitely now looks different that it’s counterpart on the other foot. *I didn’t go to a doctor because basically here in Canada, they would just do nothing. I guess I’m a bit concerned b/c I wonder if the bone will be a problem for walking and/or pain overtime...I’m 54 with arthritis so you can imagine I don’t want “extra” pain. Lol...But yes, I’ve been walking about 10 000 steps per day and it’s just a wee bit sore in the night...not sure if I should be curling the toes up and down for exercise or not in the evening...just a bit sore. TY for any advice you may offer! ❤️ (ps...I didn’t tape it or anything...what happened is that I banged into a door at night & the toe went. Flush up agains the door and I heard a crack).
Mine is actually itching and aching... And also crooked. Ugh
I hurt my little toe a couple of months ago. I heard a crack and it became swollen. It had gotten better however it’s not been the same and even if I hit it slightly it will swell up. What should I do. Thankyou!
Hello and thanks for the comment! I refrain from providing medical advice on this channel as I have not seen/assessed your particular case. I would suggest getting assessed by a qualified provider if your toe is still bothering you! Wishing you all the best
I broke my toe 3 1/2 months ago. It still hurts. When will the pain stop? I’m taking poppy plant tincture under the tongue for the pain.
gm I hit my toe a month now the 4th one. I did everything I can n it is still swollen but I'm not having any pain it just swollen. Plz what should I do
yeah mee too
Hello! Thanks for your comment. I will preface by saying that this channel is for information purposes only. It's hard for me to provide you an accurate answer without knowing the details around your case/without examining you in person. With that said, if there is no functional impairment, it may take a few weeks for the swelling alone to settle. So if you are able to walk comfortably and your toes otherwise look normal - you will probably be okay. If you are concerned however - I always recommend an in person assessment from a qualified provider. Stay well!
If I can move it ? Is it a good sign that it’s not broken ? Even if it got swollen n bruised ?
Give Thanks
Hello sir, I fractured my one ankle and got a plaster on it but I also hit my other foot as well but luckily I didn't get a fracture in another one and it's been 12 days now but the thing is in which I got a plaster not even pain through this entire time but the second one is swelling alot cause I walk through this foot so what should id do??? Do I need to buddy taping it??? Cause I depend on that my all body weight so after 8 th day it swells alot😔😔😔
My toe is straight and seems a little bump on it because I walked a lot on that. I also got a x-ray of it but luckily there's nothing serious but it swelling a lot these days
how long for recovery time doc and i'm going to see a traumtologist tomorrow what should i be looking out for ?
Hello - thanks for checking out our channel. Typical recovery is 4-6 weeks if all goes well. Hope you are doing well
I'm pretty certain I've broken my toes because I ran it over with a table tennis table and .g nails have ripped off and I've got large bruises, what should I cover it with?
So I was taking hubby to work and I was really tired and didn’t realize my toe was in the door still and slammed the door right on my big toe. My big toe is swollen bruised and hurts. I can’t pop it or move it. What should I do? I can barely even walk on it
Sorry that you have injured yourself! As always I preface by saying that we refrain from providing medical advice on this channel and that it is for patient educational purposes only. Nonetheless, given that it is your big toe, it sone of the only important ones! Wishing you a speedy recovery!
Doctor i have a hair fracture on my pinky toe i wonder how long it takes to heal?
I went to workers comp and they just told me to tape it with the next toe and will be heal on his own but wonder how many weeks ?! I am close to 60 years old and I already have 3 weeks and still on pain but of course less pain i bought on cvs a hard sole shoe to continue with my daily life activities but now i feel pain on my right foot and i feel nails and a lot of pain on my other toe?! What I should do?! I went to doctor she took xray and she told me is nothing there but yesterday in the morning as soon i put my right foot on the floor it was painful
Thanks doctor for your videos God bless you
Just yesterday I was walking to the kitchen and my right foots little toe folded and it’s pinkish and it hurts ALOT I’ve been wearing socks but it’s not really working I just need the pain to go away I’m just a kid so I don’t really know what to do
Happened to me last night
Castor oil helped reduce my inflammation. Ginger/turmeric for pain.
Roughly how long would you suggest buddy taping the toe for? I stubbed mine about a month ago. Had it x-rayed about 2 weeks ago and they said there was a small fracture of the bone in the toe nearest the foot (at the base of the toe). They taped it and gave me a thick sole open boot to wear. I am still having pain on the outside of the foot at the base of the toe (the fracture was on the inside of the toe strangely). Wondered if the taping was machine the tendon ache due to it pull the alignment of the toe towards the other toes? Thanks
I have this exact same injury but I’m on day 2! How long did it take before you could walk normally again? Do you have any other advice for it?
@@RtothaO the most important thing is to rest it and keep your weight off it for the first month or so. I think I started walking on it too much too soon. You can walk with a broken toe it just hurts. I had an orthopaedic shoe off of the hospital which kept the weight off it and I woore that when in the house or in work for over a month
@@TheKayakCrew thanks for you response! Much appreciated. I’ll stay off it as long as possible. They also taped it but I feel like it’s causing more pain tbh and I’m meant to be going on holiday end of next week 😔
I have the same injury. How long did it take to heal 100%?
@@conorjbrown I broke my little toe over 2 years ago. Seemed to take over a year before I stopped noticing it at all.
I have a question about the buddy toe taping. In this channel it's recommended to do so but when I got to another channel (also a licensed doctor) who says it's not good to do because it isn't supposed to help the movement restraint and can give you a crooked toe. Obviously, i don't know much about this so, what is your opinion on that?
Hi Emma, As always, remember to seek care from a medical qualified professional if you are concerned about an injury. In particular, with regards to toe injuries, it is prudent to seek medical attention especially if you have: injuries of the great (big) toe, open injuries (where the skin has been torn/lacerated as a result of the trauma), displaced/shifted injuries with visible deformities of the toe, or injuries causing pain at the base of the toe/in the foot. I always reiterate that this channel is not for individualized medical advice and more so just for educational purposes. As a PA working in the ER, for injuries outside of what I have listed, where the toe is straight/not shifted, buddy taping and wearing a comfortable shoe (As long as it is comfortable for the patient) is what we commonly recommend.
@@DxTx Great advice, thank you 😁
Read the description.
my dog jumped on my back and i don't know what really happened to my toe but it didn't pop or anything it was hurting for the first our or so but when i move it and squeeze it i doesn't hurt but when i walk and put pressure on it it hurts a little and it has gotten just a little very faint blue line im so scared because my other toe was broken and it just healed after two cast i do not whant to go thru that again my brothers and mom says there's nothing wrong but i an so scared and stressed but it's not bruising or swelling
Thanks for the message and sorry about your injury. If it continues to bother you, I recommend you see a healthcare provider for an assessment. Best of luck!
Thank you Doc
Thanks any advice for me? Broke is Saturday, 4 days ago, urgent care physician assistant read the X-ray wrong and told me it was NOT broken. Went to podiatrist yesterday & they confirmed it is indeed fractured. I also teach yoga! 😭
Lol I kicked a chair out of anger yesterday. It’s a day later and it’s bruised and black and blue now. I have been elevating and icing it. But it’s definitely broken.
Sorry to hear about your injury/I hope the video helped to answer some of your questions! I always recommend seeking care if you are concerned as this channel is for educational purposes only! Speedy recovery!
Ohh my god. I was playing football with my friends and one of them accidentally kicked me on the big toe. Im sure its broken cuz its bigger and i see a bruise. I havent told my mother yet but tommorow morning i will so we can get an xray. At the moments is night so im gonna sleep hoping that im gonna be okay. Btw is the first time ive broken a bone ooh is scary as hell. And if you can tell me, what will they do to me?? Will they just give me meds or what??? Do you think its gonna get worse overnight?
Stubbed my pinky 2 months ago then my grabdson tramped it by mistake. Im 57 years old. Bandaged my toes so as not to hurt it again. It is still swollen and little pink on the toe with no pain but so afraid to hurt it more. Should I now see a doctor?
hi! last year I hurt my second toe to the door but only my first bone has been hurting since. my bone is now double the size of my regular toe and then I did X-rays they said that there's no broken bone but there must be something do I need surgery?
Hi Cristina, thank you for your message and for watching. I refrain from providing medical advice on this channel and recommend that you speak with a qualified HCP re: your concerns as I have not seen/assessed you. Best of luck
Not gonna lie i worry less now, but apart from all that, how the hell can i dislocate my big toe in my SLEEP. im clumsy, but plus, im only worried even if it looks normal it only has 2 little lines of bruises between my upper and lower toe bone. And when i pull down the toe as, squeezing it, one of the bones (just like a fist) is bigger than the other comparing to my other toe which r identical. And thats what im worrying about.
so i think i may have broken my index toe (is that what its called) and my graduation ceremony is in a week. im panicking and have no idea what to do, so im here to try and dissect the injury.
Thanks for your support, I hope the video helped provide you some more information and also hope that you had a speedy recovery!
I got my pinky toe stubbed last week and xray report showed that it is fractured.. my dr has immobilized it by buddy tapping. My question is that can i walk on my heel? Can walking slow down the healing process?
Man i treated my broken toe like no big deal and now 3 years later it's a hammertoe and im starrting to walk with a slight limp. Dont listen to everyone saying it's nothing to worry about because now I'm fucked
broke my big toe pretty sure 3 yrs ago and never got treatment but now it's continued to hurt and it's worse now.
