Did I bruise or break my toe?!


Question: I acidentally set a 5 gallon bucket of water on my foot, the part where the base of your big toe joins your foot. I turned red for awhile then went away. I could still walk on it. This was about 4:30 today.

Now I can barely walk on it but I can bend it and i have full range of movent.

Most likley its bruised right?

It is not broken. It is badly bruised. Keep ice on it for a while. It will take about a week or so to feel better.

You probably sprained it or jammed it. Its nothing too bad but you should keep your toe elevated and ice it for 20 minutes every hour. It will take like a week or 2 for it to fully heal.

you should put ice on it and it will heal about in a week
