@NickNack Thanks for your inquiry, so very sweet. I went last night, had a toe reduction, their words, to put the toe back together , found out it was broken totally in 2 spots! was numbed up and given pain relief but yowza it hurt when they moved the bones together. Have another appt today at 3, they are checking to see if the bones will stay;in line. If not pins and surgery will be required. Cant wait to see 2016 in the rear view, young nieces sudden death, husband kidney and colon surgery my brothers ostemy and reversal , and now this...
Thanks again for all the answers ,I honestly wasnt going to go to dr,good thing i listened...Maryanne

I would suggest you get a second opinion if they're talking about surgery. Or course it hurts if they manipulate a broken toe.

I broke a finger last year and went to a hand specialist/surgeon. Along the way, he told me surgery on a finger or toe rarely does any good.

I broke my little toe when I was 15 - almost 50 years ago. I didn't know it was broken at the time until my brother who was studying to be an x-ray tech x-rayed it for practice about 5 years later. He said did you know you broke your little toe. When I broke it, it was very painful and swollen. Now I can stick my toe out to the side and the bone pokes through. Great at parties for stupid human tricks!! And when I stub it!!! OUCH!!!! Sorry you have to go through the pain!
