Did I break my toe?

[Laurel Scott]

Dammit! I think i just broke my big toe! Maybe its just sprained. Either way, it sucks. It got caught in the cuff of my capri as I tried to stand up.

:wha: I am sorry to hear that!!!

[arcoiris]

Ouch!

[Dorothea]

Ouch indeed!
I hope it feels better soon!

What a coincidence! I fractured my toe last night..I tripped on the front steps, and the toe was purple this morning. Went to the Dr. and he said it was a fracture, so I get to wear a lovely orthopedic shoe and toe splint for a few weeks......:sad:

how swollen is it? medical tape it to your neighbor toe, that's what they'd do at the dr's anyway. oweee!

[Laurel Scott]

Well, its some time later and its still sore, but not swollen or anything. Maybe its not broken or anything. Just a booboo. My daughter kissed it for me. We'll see how it is in the morning. Poor me!

[Laurel Scott]

Still pretty sore - I got a pretty good pimp walk going on - but I don't think its broken. No swelling or bruising.

Yikes, it is always something.

Laurel,

Just to be sure. Go and get some medical tape and tape your big toe and the 2nd toe together for about 1-2 weeks (2 would be better). Make sure to ice it as well when you can!!!

Listen to her (egonzalez) becasue she is top nurse LOL!!!

[Laurel Scott]

I didn't see the egonzalez post until now. Its a day and a half since I messed it up. Pimp walk all day yesterday, but no swelling or bruising. Today its just a bit sore and stiff, but seems to be on the mend. Full range of motion. Its all good. Just a nasty booboo.

As my son would say (he's almost three)...take a warm bath and then put a band aid on it and it will be all better. :)
