Has anyone ever had a broken toe?
Permalink  

Have you ever heard the joke?: How do you punish Helen Keller? Rearrange the furniture.

Well, my hubby moved this sturdy metal stool right into the upstairs hallway. So of course, I'm walking through that hallway in the dark, and my middle little piggy slammed right into one of the metal legs. My toe now hurts like heck. I can still bend it, so I'm guessing I just jammed it. Has anyone ever broken a toe? If so, what did the doctor do about it? I really don't want to have to worry about a middle toe or go into the doctor for it. Any suggestions?

Mz-


I break my toes religiously! If its broke it will turn black. the only thing a doctor would do is tape it to its neighbor for a couple of weeks until its not sore, replacing that tape once its worn out every couple of days.


LOL this last time, I was out of medical tape, so I just used what I had on hand- scotch tape. Which I actually liked better, because it was pretty worn out at the end of each day, so it took no tugging to get it off the toes.


If it gets really swollen and sore, an ice pack can help, just make sure your foot it flat on the floor so that the broken toe isn't supporting the weight of the pack.


I will now do my healing voodoo blessing so that your healing process may quicken!

Those darn stools!


When I worked at Radio Shack instead of sending defected items back we would have to bust them up and throw them away. I couldn't find the hammer so I grabbed a metal stool and slammed it down on the toy, forgetting there were two other legs on the stool which one was right over my toes. They can't put it in a cast but they will probably have you tape it to the next toe.

ouch!  i'll bet it hurt(s) like the devil!  i hope you're keeping ice on it.  i don't know what a doctor would do for a broken toe.  my guess is -- keep ice on it and maybe a splint.  that's what i would do for you if we were stranded on an island.  uh... except for the ice i suppose.  but maybe if jr was with us

Well, it's not black, just swollen, so I guess that's a good sign. So, it sounds like I don't really need to go to the doctor, just tape it to another toe and put ice on it. I probably should've put ice on it last night, but I was on my way to bed.

I never had to put ice on it, all I had to do was put it next to allycats feet (or rear) in bed. Then they stayed ice cold all night!

DS that is just WRONG!


MZ sorry about the piggies- i have broke a few. Save the cash and just play doctor yourself. Elevate and ice. Make your hubby baby you.


 


Sparky- I think the bed might be really cold tonight!

Yeah, I play doctor myself a lot, and it's just a toe. Does it matter which other toe I tape it to? (Obviously, it has to be a toe that's next to it!) Maybe I'll draw something pretty on the tape since I'm still wearing sandals...

mz I would opt for the bigger toe to tape it up against- just easier to tape, more support.
