damn... i sprained my ankle and shifted my bone just before the new year... It was PAINFUL! I recommend you get some x-rays done and bring it to a sports doctor... I have a good referral if you need one.

He shifted my bone back and put some CRAZY medicine on it. I was walking within days. Although not fully recovered, it was a dramatic recovery within 72 hours.

btw, this is how bad it was... I was not able to stand with my foot suspended because the blood would rush down and not come back up. It would take ~5 minutes for the pain to go back down after i lay down. And as my wife was driving me around, I was in extreme pain as she hit everything bump on the road. And yes, that was with my foot suspended in the air.

 

I'd say get it x-rayed. But there's not much a doctor will do about minor fractures in your toes, unless you really broke them.

 

+1.

See a Dr. if you want, but there is really nothing you can do with toes besides tape them and wait for the pain to go away.

 

Sounds like the small toe is broken. The other ones in the area might be purple just due to that one toe. I would say tough it out, nothing a doctor can really do for a broken toe atleast from my experience.

 

broken toe. They happen a lot. dr. won't do much. Maybe tape it up. If you have insurance you might as well go. If no insurance then let it go. People brake toes all the time.

 

Just be sure that you didn't break the skin - no telling how many infectious things live in your garage - my friend had a terrible bout with cellulitus and almost lost his leg when all he did was get a pin ***** on his foot from walking around his house.

So be careful out there - if it starts to swell and leak out pus; go to the Dr.

 

Dude! This is the WORST thing about it! Standing up is sooo painful thanks to all my ogre blood rushing down to my foot from 6 and a half feet up! It starts to pulsate and turns blood red, and sometimes I have to sit back down right away because it feels like my foot is going to explode. To get around this I have to get up REALLY, REALLY slowly... Takes me about 3-5 mins to get up from laying/sitting down if I don't want my foot to be in crazy pain.


Damn, so you guys think its b0rk3d, eh? I figured that I sprained it but I guess my symptoms are on par with a fracture according to webMD... I hate going to the doctor, takes soooo much of my time for little or no help most of the time... You guys know what I'm talking about. You have to be really f'ed up in order for them to actually do something for you..

The last time I went to the doctor for something and they actually did something for me right there on the spot was when I got bit by a black widow on my knee cap and waited 2 days to go to the hospital. They operated on it right there on the spot, didn't knock me out or anything. That was by far the most painful thing I have ever gone through, and as you guys know, I have been through a lot of crap! (Not referring to just the surgery, talking about the whole spider bite in general... I almost died from multiple symptoms including 106 degree temp and a GNARLY infection to my leg...) I don't know why I am mentioning this, it's making me squirm by just thinking about it!

Lesson of the day: Don't run full speed in your garage without shoes on, and don't ever, EVER get bit by a black widow!!! If you do by chance get bit, go to the hospital that very moment you get bit!!! DO NOT wait it out or try to be some tough guy! I paid the price and almost paid with my life! don't be an idiot like I was (am).


And I hope everyone is doing swell this sunny thursday late morning/early afternoon. Remember to brush thoroughly and if you don't know her last name, use a condom, maybe two.

 

Yeah, I'd be at the doc if I had broken the skin, I learned from the spider bite to NOT mess around with infections no matter where they are...

 

id go to a doctor just incase.

but really you cant do anything besides what paul said.

ive broken my foot 6 times now and every time the doctor says, "Heres an ace bandage. stay off it, your going to be in pain for a while...."

Thanks doc.

 

Go to the doctor. Take x-ray to make sure it is either broken or fractured - to r/o infection. If you have diabetes, this will be even more crucial since tissue perfusion will be compromised in such chronic disease. Yes, like R-Dub has already said above, you can loose a foot if it is a sever infection.

 

I did that. Broke a toe while dancing, didn't realize it was broken until it healed and set misaligned from the other toes. Just thought I tweaked it cuz it hurt for a week! But yeah Daniel, if its more than one toe, and you're not a small dude, go get it checked out.

 

I'd go to the doctor just in case. If it's badly broken there could be other complications. Most likely they will just put some lambs wool between your toes and tape them together.
