    Default Broken Toes

    Has anyone ever broken any toes??? I'm just wondering how long it takes to heal. It appears that I broke mine, I dropped something heavy on them yesterday, they still hurt and are very bruised. Just wondering how long it will take for swelling and bruising to go away??

    Totally been there. I stubbed my PINKY toe on a coffee table, and broke it. I never knew how vital the pinky toe was until I couldn't use it. There was nothing they could do for it either, they can't put a cast on it or fix it. You just have to let it ride out.

    If it's real bad, just wrap your foot in an ace bandage, and make sure the toe is snug.

    I'd say that the bruising lasted about a month with me. That's because I was always walking on it. It was pretty much healed by 2 months.

    Just take some tylenol, maybe put some ice on it to keep the swelling down as much as possible. And, elevate it when sitting.

    that really sucks! I hope you feel better. I've had times where my toes were really sore after stubbing them, but I don't think they ever got broken.

    advil liquigels and excedrin for migraines. the caffeine in it really makes the pain killers work better. i'm sorry you broke your toe, hon. i don't know how long it takes to heal- but i hope you feel better soon!

    Thanks for the advice!! This does have some advantages though! I've been telling my boyfriend that the pain is so bad that I can't walk for very long, so for now, he's been doing all of my house chores along with his!! Its nice to have a break, no pun intended, every once in a while!!

    I've broken my toes so many times I cant count(I train horses... they are always jumping on your toes). Tylenol or Advil(I swear by advil liquid gel) helps the pain, an ace bandage if you need help stabalising it, you can make yourself a tiny lil splint with popsicle sticks if you really feel the need to and ice it. Also soaking in sea salts really helps. Hope you heal quick! It really sucks.

    Yeah, I'm totally showing my age, but I didn't have Liquigels when I was you whippersnappers' ages. Tylenol worked for me, but they've come out with much stronger and better stuff since I had my broken pinky toe.
