Caught it on something this morning. Is at the very least badly bruised but I am suspecting broken. Have splinted it against the next one - that is all a doctor would do anyway
Yeah that’s all they do. Are you taking an anti inflammatory for it? They’d recommend that too.
All I have is paracetamol? (Tylenol)
If you think you have broken it you need to go a&e and get scans urgent !!
It can help with pain, but not swelling
I have broken plenty toes in my rugby playing days. Well not plenty - one other time only in fact🧐
Tbh with corona kicking about I don’t want to go to a hospital
I know @anon94176359 but at least speak to a nurse at the doctor’s to make sure it’s not serious
Ok ish I will do that. Will wait till tomorrow though
I broke a toe once. Went to the doctor and got it xrayed. Yep broken. All they did was tape it to the next one.
That’s all they do.
I’ve broken quite a few toes in my soccer and boxing days. I’ve always just tapped them and it usually heals on it’s own, but be warned it could heal in a weird way. If the bruising colors get more intense definitely go to the doctor.
Yours?
I don’t always read the full thread.
Ouch! Hope you can still walk okay.
Walking barefoot is ok but shoes really hurt
