broken toe

[sanny]

as the title suggests i broke my small toe on my right foot. got up during the night to visit the little boy's room on my return to bed a managed to kick the bottom of my bed and ended up rolling about the floor crying:cursing like a little girl ha lol. it takes a lot to reduce myself to tear but by god did it hurt so bad when a woke this morning it was a worrying black and blue colour with some nasty swelling.

but seems the swelling is going down now and i can gingerly walk on it has anyone else had this type of injury and how long does it take to heal:crying:

I broke my little toe and it took over a year to heal right

You can get away with a broken little toe... they can't really do much for it.

 

I broke my big toe 6 months ago... totally my own stupid fault. Was due to go to France on holiday - the night before I'd finished work and was wandering around the yard making sure everything was secure. Saw a few planks that I thought I'd tidy out the way. Was 'walking' the third one over and let it fall against the other 2. It sort of bounced off and the bottom sprung back 4 inches or so onto my big toe... and broke it! Wasn't wearing boots as wasn't really working.... still no excuse.... just tired and careless...

 

Wasn't too bad, but no surfing while I was on holiday and I could work gingerly with it when I came back.... but what a prize **** I felt!

av never felt pain like it before and hope i never do again.

not botherd with the doc kind a thought to my self there's not much they can do for me so just sucking it up for time being.

not liking the idea of the whole year to heal up dean what did you do to your toe run it over.

iv'e broken fingers and ribs before but this toe is by far the sorest thing iv'e ever experanced in my life so far.

It kept rebreaking because your always bending it and they can't splint it.

 

I only dropped a little weight on it messing about, but I know the pain you speak off kemosabby

I did my little toe a few months ago doing Martial arts training. It depends on how bad the break is, and where it is on your toe. I found that if I buddy-strapped it to the next toe and did my chainsaw boots up extra tight (and popped a couple of paracetamol a couple of times a day!), I could climb on it. I was limping about for a week or two and it was ok. Those tight forks hurt tho!

Amputation is a good option -our secretary Pam had her's done an she is 67,
