Hurt my big toe but little swelling?

Question

I hurt my big toe and there is some swelling but no bruising. But it harder for me to bruise (i don't know why). I went to the doctors and they took no x-rays and said it was fine just ice and motrin(I was there for a check up). It hurts a lot when I walk. What could I do to make walking easier? Should I return to the doctor or just forget it? If my toe is broken then I know it can be casted since its my big toe. I cant tie it to the next toe because it makes it hurt more.

Answer 1

Try buying those "gellin'" things and put on slippers instead of shoes. Try to eliminate any walking.

Answer 2

Well I am sorry about your big toe! If the doc says it is not broken then I would trust him! probably not walking on it would help it not hurt if you did walk on it :) But just wait a few more days and see how it goes if it really Really REALLY hurts bad then I say go back to the doc and tell him that you would like a x-ray!

hope you feel better!

Answer 3

wheelchair idk if it hurts that bad

Answer 4

Maybe you can tape a pop cycle stick to it and wrap just the big toe.

Answer 5

There is nothing to do for a broken toe. So take it easy and don;t worry.

Answer 6

It is not possible to know without an x-ray if it is broken or not. You need to go to the emergency room where they will need to give you an x-ray.

Stop listening to people who say nothing can be done for a broken toe. A big toe is different than the rest of your toes it can be set in a cast that wraps around your foot and up your leg part-way.
