jammed toe


Question Posted Wednesday June 6 2007, 5:27 pm

I Was at the zoo today with my middle school and when we got there, there was so many people that wanted to get in, so there was a lot of pushing and shoving to get inside the zoo. My friend was in front of me and someone pushed me and I stepped on my friends heel. My guess is that her heel went in between my Right Foot ring toe and my pinky toe. It hurt but I thought it was nothing so I ignored it. Then after walking around it started hurting more. We went to the chaperones and told them. They gave me a pack of ice and 4 pills of Ibprofin. (sp?)

After holding the ice on my toe for a while, it started getting numb and i could walk normally because it didn't hurt. Then it would hurt again after a while, so i iced it more. We were at the zoo at 10am and left at 2:30pm and I would say about 3/4 of the time that we were there, i was icing my toe.

I am 14/f and I play volleyball and we have a big tournament next week and my dad is the assistant coach. I only have 2 more practices before we are done for the season. (1 practice tomorrow and 1 on Friday)

HELP!!!!

I don't think it's broken because I can move it, but it still hurts when I move it. It's swollen and hurts when I walk.

what can I do to make it better by tomorrow? if not tomorrow then as fast as possible.

thank you sooo much!!

Use medical tape, and tape it to the toe next to it. It helps keep it from moving around so much as it heals.
There really isn't much you can do other than that and what you already have been doing.
Other than that, there is no magic cure. You just have to allow it time to heal, and try to get by with it during your practice.

You have to ride it out
Icing it is good I always jam my toes cuz I wrestle and we always have to do 100 sprawls before we leave thats like down ups only its harder on your toes
Just Ice it for practices take pain killers
Try not to walk as much only when needed theres really nothing you can do
