Q: My big toe is broken. Plain and simple, it is definitely broken, please trust me. I haven't told my parents about this, because I am afraid to go to the doctor. It's been broken for about two weeks now. It feels like it hurts more and more everyday. Which might make sense, because since no one knows it's broken.. I am always the one having to go up and down the stairs for everyone and driving everyone everywhere. I never get to rest it. And it's disgustingly swollen. I just hide it like nothing is wrong, and no one would ever know. I just can't do it anymore. It hurts. So my question is, can anyone tell me what might happen if I go to the doctors? X-Ray? Height/weight? Think I might get a cast? Crutches? I am seriously very frightened. For the past two weeks I've felt like I'd rather live with this pain rather than face the music at the doctors. And another thing, is there any possibility the doctors might tell me it's best to leave it alone and stay off of it as much as possible? Could it "heal" on it's own? If I keep my mouth shut about it, will the pain eventually fade on it's own? What would be my consequences by not taking care of it in a proper medical fashion? Finally, I am over 18 years, and we don't have any sort of health insurance. How much would it presumably cost to take care of? Anything you can give me is more than I already have, so thank you so very much!!

dont be scared. doctors are there to help you not hurt you. just trust them. yes show your parents, dont lie to them tell them the truth about how you hid it from them because truth is the most important thing. they will check your height weight and give you an xray. simple as that. your pobably wont have a cast or crutches. no it wont heal itself unless it has something to support it. the pain will not fade because it will get worse and worse everyday you keep on walking on it.

hi. my name is natalie, im 17 and im really good advice giver, all my friends say so. I've been through a lot so i can probably relate to you. Ask me anything, i wont judge or laugh just be honest.
I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure--which is:
Try to please everybody.
really just express yourself and dont care about what others think, its a waste of time and they're opinion is not as important as yours.
i truly hope i can help.
_natalie_
