Hurt my big toe but little swelling?!
Question: Hurt my big toe but little swelling!?
I hurt my big toe and there is some swelling but no bruising!. But it harder for me to bruise (i don't know why)!. I went to the doctors and they took no x-rays and said it was fine just ice and motrin(I was there for a check up)!. It hurts a lot when I walk!. What could I do to make walking easier!? Should I return to the doctor or just forget it!? If my toe is broken then I know it can be casted since its my big toe!. I cant tie it to the next toe because it makes it hurt more!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
It is not possible to know without an x-ray if it is broken or not!. You need to go to the emergency room where they will need to give you an x-ray!.
Stop listening to people who say nothing can be done for a broken toe!. A big toe is different than the rest of your toes it can be set in a cast that wraps around your foot and up your leg part-way!.

Well I am sorry about your big toe! If the doc says it is not broken then I would trust him! probably not walking on it would help it not hurt if you did walk on it :) But just wait a few more days and see how it goes if it really Really REALLY hurts bad then I say go back to the doc and tell him that you would like a x-ray!

Maybe you can tape a pop cycle stick to it and wrap just the big toe!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
