Kevin R. Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Ok. I broke my big toe. It doesn't really matter I am just wondering if you just let this shit go. I don't want it growing back all fucked up, haha. I figure you just let it heal on its own, but for peace of mind, I am making sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin R. Posted December 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 No? I didn't think that would be necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 Beast Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Get it looked at. I broke both of my big toes playing football and they dont bend right. Plus it hurts like hell at times if I jump and land wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin R. Posted December 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Damn..i didnt want to put that much work into it. But I guess I should. I dont see what he could possibly do though except give me some pills and get some cash. I dont see them putting a whole fuckin foot cast shit on for a toe...and you cant splint the thing.

V8 Beast Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 They would just x-ray it to make sure the break was clean, and then tie it to another toe/splint it... oh, and charge about $10,000 for doing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin R. Posted December 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Haha. Shieeet. Ill tie the fucker down myself. I read something that they will just tie it to the other toe and put something in between them...but my toe is like twice its original size so I aint fittin shit in between them.

V8 Beast Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Give me $20 and I'll do it. I'll go get some whiskey, a mallet, and some duct tape and fix it the good ol' fashioned way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble Maker Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 I'd go to the doctor, especially if you have insurance. I broke one of my big toes a few years ago. All's they did was x-ray it like V8Beast said and make sure it's a break that will heal on it's own. Then they gave me one of those 'boot' things and 'tied' it to the toe next to it. Had to wear that for 3-4 weeks. I didn't do it for quite three. I still wish I would have done it for more. It still gives me problems because the break was right next to a joint, but not as bad as that other guy said. If it's bad enough to need something more than simple immobilization and you don't go get it checked you are in for a world of problems down the road.

Guest Mushijobah Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 I broke mine during highschool football junior year. Get it x-rayed. Chances are you will have to wear one of those goofy blue shoes, they are hard to cast up. Don't wear regular shoes though, it will fuck it up.

Kevin R. Posted December 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Ya i havent wore regular shoes yet...hurts like a bitch to even try. I have been wearing slip on sandals. Im not wearing the blue boot for a broken toe. My pride says no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman88210 Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 You need to get that shit looked at asap. If it is sitting in a crooked position they will need to put it back into place. Dont worry it will only hurt alot for about 10 minutes. No but seriously, go get films taken so they can make sure its sitting ok. Well worth it in the long run!

jeffmeden Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 +1 for see a doctor. You would be surprised how much you use that thing, if it ends up healing out of shape you will regret it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin5s Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 I've broken most of the toes in my feet from martial arts.... I never worried about it... just waited for the swelling to go down, then went back to my normal life... thus hurting it again before it healed... now my feet look funky because my toes go all different directions.

Sturg1647545502 Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 It it where me would only see a doc if i had lost pulse, motor, sensory and/or its disfigured. anything else and they'll more than likely shoot some xrays, confirm its broke and then buddy tape it. thats it. If it was me i WOULD,however, go to CVS and buy some 3m medical tape and buddy tape it. I would tear the medical tape into 1/4-1/3"strips, and secure the injured toe to the next good toe(normally the toe most inward feels the best). secure the injured toe to the buddy toe by wrapping the tape around injured toes "inbetween the joint spaces"(aka not on the joints). Dont wrap it too tightly as to cut off circulation(make it purple, or make it feel like its gone to sleep) when you are around the house, dont wear closed shoes, and try to stay off it. Its going to take 4-8weeks to heal...and it will hurt the entire time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAOLE Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 If the toe is still pink at the toe nail, and you can feel it... just tape it to the next toe and save yourself some cash! If you want an x-ray I can do it for $10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jelloman4571647545499 Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 If the toe is still pink at the toe nail, and you can feel it... just tape it to the next toe and save yourself some cash!
