could my big toe be broken? help!?!


Question: Could my big toe be broken? help!?
I play soccer and it's VERY important I'm not out of the season.
I kicked a girls cleat or something and it felt like I just jammed the toe. The game ended like seriously 5 seconds after. Then I ignored the pain, thinking it would go away. Now I have tournaments next weekend and two games before that so I'm worried I can't play!
I can't describe the pain, but it's consistent and feels like the bone. The thing that confuses me is that I can move it any way I want, it just hurts to move it down. If I put pressure on it it feels like it could get worse and really hurts. So I don't walk on it, I use the other parts of my foot. It's swollen, but not like extreme. There's some blueness on the top and the ball of my foot hurts as well to walk on.
I will probably go to get xrays, but do you think it's just a jam? is that what it sounds like? I have no idea, i've only fractured a knee once.
I DON'T want to be out this season too...like 2 years ago.

Answers:

No, doesn't sound broken but, it does sound like you stubbed your big toe pretty good. Don't worry, go see the Doc just to be safe, because they really wouldn't do much for a broken toe anyway unless it were a severe break, like a spiral fracture or something. I'd just take it easy and soak your foot in Epsom salts and take ibuprofen to help with the pain and swelling.

Best Luck.



I would see some kind of foot doctor...? My brother broke his toe before and he still sometimes complains. It's been a while. Try to see someone soon if your planning on continueing to play whether it's jammed or broken. I really hope that helps!

Same thing happened to my thumb, I jammed it pretty good and it got pretty swollen but it was broken. You probably just bruised the bone in your toe
