My dad thinks my right pinky toe isnt broken but i think it is?!


Question: he WILL NOT take me to get a dam.n x-ray because he said "first you have to go to your doctor then they will take you to the hospitol and then you will wait there for four hours... blahhh"

anyways.. i can like walk on it but it hurts when i bend it to the right, not really to the left, and it hurts REALLY bad when i bend it foward.

my dad said that if it was broken i wouldnt be able to walk on it at all or be able to move it.
he said hes done it like a thousand times and that it will be sore for about a month but its not broken

its still swollen and sore (course i did take two ibuprofens last night and one this morning) and theres a bruise on it that goes about an inch below my toe and its a light blue..

is it broken? how can i tell?

hhmm I'm not sure I had a very similar thing happen to me my toe hit a plastic container while I was riding my scooter in the house and it was bruised really far down my foot. Mine was the pinky toe too. I was assuming that it was broken but I wasn't sure. I never went to the doctor or hospital I just left it alone and it eventually healed. Good luck!

broken toes are SOOOOOO painful and I wasn't able to walk when I broke mine. maybe you just sprained it or something?

The only way to tell if your toe is broken is if you get an x-ray. Even then, they just tape your toe to the next one. You really can't do anything for broken toes

you don't get x-rays on toes.
they just put it in some plaster thing and tell you to rest.

If it is broken, they will just tape it to another toe. It's next to impossible to splint a toe...
