Answers:
If it turned black fast you sure did break it!.Unfortunately there is not much you can do about it except wait out the healing process,I still would have it X-rayed just to make sure there isn't more damage than you think!.I did the same thing at the beach one year ,I was chasing someone when I tripped over a tree root!.Instant Agony!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Sounds broken!.

Buddy tape the broken toe to the next toe (your third toe)!. Use surgical tape and place folded gauze between the two toes!. Change the tape after you shower!. Keep your foot elevated and ice the injury!.

You can always go to a doctor, but there's not much that a doctor can do for a broken toe!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

We can guess until the cows come home, but the only way to know for sure is to head to the doctor and get an x-ray!.

Until then, ice it, take Ibuprofin, and stay off of it as much as possible!. You can try to tape it to your other toe, but after a month, the bones are setting and healing!. It may not do anything!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

It maybe broken!. You can do what they would do at the hospital, and that is buddy tape it!. Take the "broken" toe, and tape it to the one next to it!. Also take tylenol or advil for the pain!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't know why you would wait that long!. Why didnt you go to the doctors/hospital!? it could have gotten infected within that month!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

if its hurting that bad and you cant move it at all then its probably broken!.!.!.!. if you can move it, you probably just stubbed it pretty bad!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
