Broke my pinky toe, help?!


Question: Broke my pinky toe, help!?
I'm pretty sure I broke my baby toe by stumping it on something and it bent completely back under my foot!. That was on June 28!. It's been more that 4 weeks and it still hurts!. i get around fine!. Mostly wear flipflops to no squeezing of the toe but if i move it , it suddenly gets a sharp pain like a needle and gets hot!. It still has a dark color to it also!. When is it going to stop hurting!? Is there anything I can do!? Www@Answer-Health@Com

Ouch!. I broke my pinky toe last summer!. It is a pain I will never forget!. It took ten weeks to heal!. You need to put a piece of gauze between your pinky toe and the toe next to it and then tape your toes together!. Also try to wear comfortable shoes that are open like flip flops!. You can ice it!. You should begin to feel better within a few days hopefully!. A year later my toe will hurt occasionally since it was a bad break!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Most people think there is nothing to do for a broken toe, but that's incorrect!. Like you, I broke my little toe by stubbing it, only mine was sticking straight out to the side, so I couldn't put a shoe on if I wanted to!.
I felt odd going to the ER with what I thought was such a minor problem, but it was Saturday morning and I didn't want to wait until Monday to see my doctor!. I'm so glad I went!. The doctor pulled it to "set it" back in place, OMG did it hurt, and wrapped it to secure it to my foot!. He said if I hadn't had that done it would always flop out to the side!. If I were you I'd go to the doctor and have it taken care of before it gets too late for them to do anything for it!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

don't wear flip flops because it can change the shape of your foot and your pinky toe is bruised that's why it feels hot so all your blood gets caught in one place!. that also happened to me but on my hand it was because i was playing fooseball and someone hit my hand with medal so i asked my friend and she said it was cause the blood all gets caught up in the certin place and starts to feel hot then bruises up!. So try wearing sandals and wrap it in gauze then rub ointment and aloe on the gauze so it'll sink through and when u walk or something it won't hurt!. i hope this helps u! xoxoxo JenWww@Answer-Health@Com

Try taking tylenol and if you must wear a tennis shoe, wrap it up first!. Also try icing or heating it three times a day for 20 minutes!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
