Answers:
my cousin got a sort for her broken toe.
she had a boot on her foot (allows for you to walk with a cast)
you can also rent crutches, or see if the nurse have any. or the local ambulance might have some to borrow!
no way, they own far more important injuries to give crutches out for. I broke my toe about 4 months ago and it be black and blue and i found it difficult to walk. They gave me a boot for my foot which helped to glibness the pain and it was ok.
If you think you hold a broken toe, you should see a doctor. A badly broken toe can cause serious issues, and may require resetting, or in some cases a special shoe or cast in order to help the toe properly make well. However, frequently, doctors do not cast the foot, and the toe does not require resetting. In these cases, you may simply have to live with the discomfort of a broken toe for several weeks.
Some simple home treatments for a broken toe can help reduce pain. First, as much as possible, minimize standing or walking. If walking or standing proves remarkably painful, consider renting or purchasing crutches or a cane to minimize the weight one have to put on the toe.
i think you should wear crutches to reduce the risk of further injury of your toe Source(s): http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-the-trea…
Hell no tape it up and drive on. Take ibuprofen to get the swelling down and rime it. RICE Rest Ice Compress and Elevate
