Think I might have broke a toe

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 know @anon94176359 but at least speak to a nurse at the doctor’s to make sure it’s not serious

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.
