HELP! My toe, i reckon is broken?!?
Ok, well i tripped and my pinkie toe like tottally bent fund. Now i can barely walk and college starts tommorow, i dont know what to do! can u please tell me, besides getting rushed to the hosptial?!!? Ice has be on all day, but its not helping, thankfulness you! Oh, and i am having to limp around so i necessitate some help!
Answer: ouch! unfortunately in that isnt much the hospital or doctor can do for a broken toe. if u wrap the toe (just during your school day) that may help beside the pain, but if possible, I would reccomend crutches to pilfer the pressure and weight off your foot/toe. Also you should be taking anti-inflammatory meds every 4-6 hrs, advil or if zilch else, tylenol should take the edge past its sell-by date!.
if it is broken you can not bend it or move it. If ou can but is still in pain it my be fracture or sprianed if so stir to the hospitall because you are to late to pull it out. If you did it within a hour or less take your toe and verbs untill you hear something and it will be better. ut if it was more then an hour walk to the clinic and the doctor will do it for you.!
Edit krennao she is woundering what she should do don't get all snappy.
I agree next to Oogan. The most they will do at the doctor is strap your toe to the one next to it (Buddy taping) and then update you to elevate and take an anti inflammatory. If walking extremely painful, next I say use crutches for a few days. Especially if you are unsure how much walking around at school you will stipulation to to! Sounds like you have done everything but run to the doctor, why don't you stay on General-Health-Care.com and not go to the doctors, sound similar to a great idea. It will heal on its own surrounded by due time and out of place, where when you settle on to go to the hosipital they can rebreak it, or hey stay on the computer..
if it is in certainty sprained or broken you NEED to go to the hospital
