Jammed my toe in Judo?!


Question:

Jammed my toe in Judo?

What can I do to fix it since I can't even bend it?

Thanks.


Answers:

First of all, you need to actually know what "jammed" means. In other words, Is it broken or not? How to find out, go see an orthopedic Doctor. In the meantime, put a small gauze or tissue paper between the injured toe and the next toe. Then get some 1/2" adhesive clloth tape and tape the injured toe to the next toe. Now they are "buddies" you see. Don't tape the toes too tight so as to cut off circulation.. Then get some sort of hard soled shoe, like a post-op shoe. This will even out the metatarsal heads(the bones just below the toes), allowing for greater healing. If ya don't want to see a Doc, or can't afford one, I suppose you could use this technique. Wether it's broken or not, the treatment is basically the same , but I won't be doing you justice if I don't tell ya to see a Doc.
Good Luck, Rick
