How can you tell when your foot's toe(s) are broken?!


Question: I did a really stupid thing and picked up a plastic bag full of ceramic plates, super heavy, and the plastic bag ripped and all the plates fell on my feet. They hurt sooooooo badly and I can't even put pressure on them. It happened like 30 minutes ago and it's still pounding like crazy! I'm trying to get my mind off the pain but it's too much!

Are my feet broken? On the left foot one of my veins quadrupled in size....it's like THAT big.

If your toes are broken, it would be really painful, and look badlyyy bruised, like black and blue. go to a doctor and get an X-ray. When i went to the doctor when I broke mine she told me that if you can still move the part of your body it doesnt mean that its not broken because when I broke my toe i was still able to bend it but it hurt.

Go to the DR.

if it swells and gets briused

if it hurts

You go to a doctor and get an x-ray.

could be... i know that my moms toe turned black n blue when she broke it.

its probably not broken its pretty tough to break you foot but your should probably have it looked at anyway cause you could get a blood clot

If you can't feel a split in the bone it's probably just badly bruised, though you could have possible got a closed fracture. Bones don't generally break that easy though.

Go to the doctor! Call 9-1-1 if its all swelled! Can you move it? If you can move it it should be alright...

It could be broken but to tell for sure X-ray.Take pain reliver and elevate and cool packs.See doc.

When it turns purple and you can't walk

most bones dont break due to blunt force directly on the bone. bones normally break when pressure is exerted from an angle creating the bone to fracture or break clean. im not saying that its not, but your foot would almost have to be crushed by the way youre explaining it. im sure it hurts terrible, but i think you may have just bruised it. keep it and put ice on it and then if it still hurts in a few days, then get it checked out

if u can't wiggle your toes then they're broken.

I would say go to the doctor, but it your toes are broken all they're going to do after x-rays is tape them to the non-broken toes. There is nothing else they can do. I'd save the money and not go.

bruising, swelling, lots of pain, deformity, all those are signs. you should put ice on it.
