Broken toe
Answered 5 years ago
So 10 days ago I absolutely smashed my toe on a concrete slab (by accident of course). It very clearly hurt straight away. It bruised quite badly. But I was told nothing can be done for a broken toe. It's still incredibly sore, bruised ad swollen I can't even rest it in my mattress at night. Can anyone tell me things I can do to help it??? I tried to splint it with that tape but it hurt. Or is it just a case of "it will get better in time"? Thanks ladies!!!!

Depends which toe. If it's your big toe the dr may be able to do something but the little toe just has to heal itself. I broke my little toe when I walked into a heavy coffee table. Was painful for about a month and a few years later still aches if I walk for too long in the wrong shoes.

Did you see a dr? Which toe? You may need it set. I do my own, but that's years of broken toes experience. Rest, ice, elevate, anti-inflammatory medication. If you are on your feet, buddy tape it and wear compression socks. Takes about 2-3 weeks to stop hurting.

Yeah I went to the doctor. She looked at it and said definitely broken and if still sore come back in 2 weeks to have a scan. So I'll give it another week and see :)
