Question:
How do you know when your toe is broken?
Okay so i think my big toe is broken on my left foot. Its swollen a little bit it hurts and i can barely bend it. Plus it just feels broken. I know the doctor can't really do anything but just let it grow back so i thought there is no use to go. This is how it happened i was jumping down the steps like i always do and i jumped dow the last step [ there is only four small steps in this room] and i hit my toe hard off my moms bowflex treadclimber. Then i triped and fell and hit it again!
does it sound broken to you?
Answers:
Sounds like it hurts like hell. Try to stay off it (no jumping down stairs for a while please, and when it's healed try to be more graceful about it ;) ) so it heals properly. The doctor can't do much aside from x-ray it ($), tell you it's broken which you seem to already know ($) and advise you to stay off that foot as much as possible ($). In the end, he tells you something you already know and takes your money. Just be careful next time, pop some aspirin, and let it heal.
