So yesterday morning I stubbed the third toe on my left foot. I hit the leg of the coffee table. Ouch!
Didn't think much of it, put a sock on it, went about and did errands. It hurts quite a bit and I can't place to much pressure, limping somewhat.
So I get home remove the sock and there is a blackish-red thing on the tip of my toe near the nail. It was bleeding a bit so I put antibiotic cream on it.
There is swelling, elevated my foot, iced the area.
You know how you spread your fingers? Well I did that with my toes to see what my movement is like. My right foot all my toes spread fine. The left foot I can spread them all with the exception of my third toe. My third toe and second toe remain together. I tried to spread them but they won't. Which makes me wonder if the third toe is broken since I can't spread them.
Last week I gave myself a pedi and always spread my toes when placing those toe seperators and the third spread just fine.
I was wondering if anyone has broke a toe and what it felt like?
I guess the only way to know is through an xray but then I hear doctors don't do anything for broken toes. Give it a few days?
