About 45 minutes ago I stubbed my baby toe pretty hard...if it was broken or fractured I'd know it, right?

Answer 1

The obvious question is, "Do you know it?" If you don't, I guess that would be false.

Here's the thing with broken toes, though. YOu can xray them and find out that they are broke, but they  don't do anythig about them. No cast, no bandage, no kiss to make it better... well you may get a kiss from a really good friend. Just wear comfortable shoes or sandals for a couple of weeks.

Now if the thng is bent crossways or backwards, you may want to see a doctor.

Answer 2

Odds are you couldn't walk if you broke it, but never say never.

Even if you did, there really isn't much that you could do anyways.

just RICE (Rest, Ice, Compress, Elevate) it because it may provide some relief for you. Maybe take acetaminophen or ibuprofen for swelling/discomfort.

Try to stay off of it for a bit and take care =)

Answer 3

well nothing could be done about it anyway if it was. just try icing it and try and stay off of it as long as possible. hope it feels better soon.
