Re: Anyone know about a broken toe?

@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'm so glad you went to the doctor!  It sounds like it was very necessary.  I hope you don't need surgery and will have a fast recovery.

@Sooner  Ick!  @Keeper of the koi  let us know what happens.  Good luck.


@KarenQVC  Ick is right!  I'll NEVER forget that x-ray!  The bone was just split down the middle and little shards everywhere.

 

My husband said on the way home:  Well, don't worry!  If it doesn't heal right, they can break it and reset it!  Isn't he a comfort?  LOL!!!

@Keeper of the koi, Glad you got that toe checked out!!! I'm so sorry you're going through all that! Hope 2017 is better in all for you. Hope that toe doesn't hurt too much for you too. Be better soon, best wishes.

So sorry about your toe, but unfortunately Dr's don't do anything for a broken toe (I've had a couple!).

 

You can get a splint for it at the drugstore just to protect it from further injury or pain from hitting it again, though.

 

Hope it heals soon!Heart

Your right IG....all the doctor did when my aunt broke her toe was to tape her toe to her other toes......and told her to take ibuprofen....

@Keeper of the koi

 

I broke a toe last week and I've done it before.

 

There is no treatment unless you want to tape it together with the toe next to it to keep it straight.

 

You have to let it heal naturally and it can take awhile.  Just be careful walking, go slow and keep the lights on.
