Popped out of joint.
I went swimming, I had a "Charlie Horse" in my foot. It lasted long, it always does for me. After that.. I got out and went in the bathroom to change.
So I was kinda.. sqautting to get my bathing suit bottoms off. The toe next to the baby one, POPPED out of joint. It freaked me out so I smacked my foot against the ground. It went back in place and then popped out again.. Finally it went back into place...So I have it wrapped. Is there anything else I should do? It's kinda numb and stuff, so tomorrow.. is it gonna hurt like hell? (I took vicodin a while ago)
Is it going to feel like it's not there?
Is it going to pop out again?
:[
I have always had a fear of breaking my toes or something, because my feet are so tiny and yeah.. It scares me.

Well if you have it wrapped and "it's kind of numb" you need to take the wrap off. If you have a muscle spasm in your toe, it will pull on the joint and make it look crooked. Rather than wrap the entire toe, use a strip of tape or bandaid and buddy tape the painful toe to a toe next to it. The biggest reason people have muscle spasms in their toes is because of tight or improperly fitting shoes, when you take the shoes off they will still feel cramped and can go into spasm. Be sure to wear shoes that are wide enough with a high enough toe space. Elevate your foot as much as possible today and use a cold pack on your toe 3 times a day for 20 min each. If you continue to have problems or if the toe continues to look crooked see your doctor for an exam.
