Yup, it's official, toes are not supposed to point that way. I stubbed my toe (actually it was the 2nd time this evening) and now my toe is turned the wrong way. It's a little achy now but not too bad.
This is my 3rd broken toe too. The first 1 I broke twice within a week. Now that 1 was extremely painful!Originally Posted by Thezookeeper
Broken toes hurt!!!! The only bone I have ever broken is my toe, and I have broken 3 times. I hope your toe gets better.
Not necesarily. I broke my toe once....went to ER....was drugged yet still felt everything....maxed out of drugs....they just straightened it out. Didn't hurt near as bad as breaking it did!Originally Posted by CarolPetunia
But but but... if it's sticking out in the wrong direction, don't you have to... um... like yank on it really hard and painfully to put it back where it belongs? And won't that require major pharmaceuticals?
Not necessarily. I have an extremly high pain tolerance when it comes to injuries like this. A woman I work with went to the ER not too long ago after rebreaking her toe and all they did was put a shoe type brace on her foot and took her off of work. I'll take some ibuprofin if I need to but at this point it's like a dull ache so it's not bad.Originally Posted by CarolPetunia
