two nights ago i was walking out of a resturant with my family and i stepped off the curb and the yellow thing in the parking lot that like stops the cars from going or w/e was right there and i didnt know it and i stubbed my toe really hard on it(i didnt hear it pop and it didnt bend) and it hurt like crazy i dont think its broken because there is no discoloration but ive been icing it..what else should i do to make it stop hurting and how can i know for sure its not broken and does anyone know what i might have done to it?
Karen answered Sunday February 13 2005, 12:01 pm: You are smart for icing it because if you didn't, your toe could probably become worse. Sometimes, when you break your toe, you don't even know that you did, unless it starts to hurt when you walk. You really can't tell if you're sure that you broke it because it could possibly be swollen or fractured. If your toe still hurts after a few days, you need to go get an X-ray done on it, just to make sure nothing is wrong with it. Hope I helped :)

Maybe you got a bruise on your toe, and its hurting because whenever you tough a bruise it hurts. And if its on you toe, the bruise is always coming in cntact with somthing to make it hurt because you walk on it. Hope i helped! [ feverdancer03's advice column | Ask feverdancer03 A Question ]
