if you can move it and it hurts terribly then you broke it but other than that your fineWww@Answer-Health@Com
contrary to belief you can still move broken bones, I use to break my toes all the time in dance (pointe) well tape it so that the toe stays strait and also ice it and take an NSAID of your choice (IB-Proferen-tylenol-motrin-advil ect!.) good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
With all due respect the ONLY - ONLY!!!!! - way you can tell for sure if your toe is broken is examination by a doctor!. If you are feeling a constant toe pain when you wiggle/move it, you should see a physician ASAP!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Normally if it's swollen or like red & puffy and it's hard to move then it could br broken!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
