Broken little toe or a sprain?!


Question: I dont know what I did to my little toe but its been over a month and its still hurting pretty badly. I hurts sometimes to stand up on my tippy toes or just walking it will start to hurt. Its not swollen or bruised but I dont know whats wrong. Can anyone give me a suggestion?

It may be broken. It's not terribly uncommon for people to break toes and not realize it, but the thing is.... even if you know it's broken... there's not much you can do about it. The doctor will tell you to just stay off of it, abstain from high-impact activities like running/jumping/kickboxing, and take it easy on the toe until it heals itself. And if it's not broken and just sprained... the Rx is the same. So either way, just try to stay off of it as much as you can... don't test it to see if it hurts if you stand on your tippy-toes.. just take it easy. For a while, see if you can wear shoes that give a little room in the toe so they're not cramping it or hurting it more.

Good luck!

We are always breaking our little toes. Its how our feet are made. I break mine about twice a year. It should go away if thats the problem otherwise maybe get it checked out.

Broken or sprained there is really nothing you can do.

go to a doctor

probably give it alot of rest and mayb put ice on it...other wise talk to ur doctor

try to catch it and move it. does it hurt? can you move it freely while resting? if yes and no pain when not walking then it is not broken most probably and it is only sprain.

Go to the doctor if the pain persists.

i remember i fell off a big ramp while mountauin biking i broke my arm and my toe but i didnt know i broke my toe until 2 weeks later beause my gf realized whe i walked my toe sticked out kinda :p yeah u probably have a broken toe but i have no feeling in my leg from nerve damage..

I broke my little toe but I hit it on the bed really hard and a few days later it bruised real bad and hurt for a long time but that was years ago and I did not go to the DR. and its ok now

If you think its bad it is bad so go to the Doctor.
