You could always ask your surgeon. He/she would be the one with the correct answer. I work for Orthopaedic surgeons, but I would not make a suggestion. Sorry

Well unfortunately if you broke it, you can't set a toe, so you just have to wait for it to heal. I would take 800mg of Advil or some Tylenol.  Elevating your foot as much as possible sure would help too, since the blood flow will only make the pain worse.  Sorry you did that! Nothing hurts much worse that doing that to your toe! OUCH!

Yes, I have had this, for no apparent reason, they called it a trauma, but in the long run it turned out to be Toe nail fungus.See a Podiatrist, that is a  foot Doctor of Podiatry, and have him take care of it. Toe nail fungus take a long time to treat, and can be treated with Laser or medicine  You will also learn to keep your feet very clean and dry, change your socks and shoes frequently, you only have one pair of feet, do take good care of them. . I hope this is helpful

sounds like it could be what we call in the medical field a stress fracture.  these are  hairline fractures in the bone and can be linked with weakened cartilige, and tendons.  most of us use our right foot as the dominant foot.  we put lots of pressure on it, much more than we weigh. we do this because in the back of our heads, the dominant foot has never failed us.  in some cultures, pain in the right foot is a sign of strength.  however, on the flip side of western medicine, you may have an arch problem.  wear a great pair of running shoes like Saucony.  Wear these all the time for about three or four weeks.  They work the arch as well as support it, and when the arch is supported, the top of the foot needs to compensate less.  try it! oh, and there is nothing that needs to be done if it is indeed a stress fracture. they are usually so small, we don't even know we have them many times.  and, use a epsom salt soak for the foot at night four times a week.

You need to go to a  doctor who deals with joint . You could have arthirist or rheumisism. Don't wait to long as it will get worse . Good Luck

sounds like gout. or maybe monoarthritis.\n\nis the joint hot? can you  move the finger or is it stiff? do you have back pain? any other finger or hand joints problems?\n\nyou need a  ESR  blood test , and an x ray  for now.\nmaybe after that serum uric acid , and aspiration of joint fluid.

Did you try a Podiatrist?\nMay be able to recommend a simple cure with some inside shoe support or different shoe.  This is an experience thing, so a foot specialist would be better.  Kind of like you go to Opthalmologist if your eye is always hurting, not just the regular doctor.\n\nIf it's Plantar fasciitis, for example, a simple heel support in your shoe helps you to get over this condition.\n\nWhen the condition hits, keep a careful record of what is difficult.  Can you stand on your tip toes?  Both feet?  Only one side?  Cold water makes it hurt more?  Write down every possible thing you can think of.  Take it with you to the doctor.  Include duration of difficulty, what activities you were engaged in when it started, etc.\n\nIf you live in Canada, see if Robaxasil (over-the-counter) helps with the pain.  If you can't take aspirin, there is another one called Robaxacet, I think.\n\nAnother thing:  Do you go barefoot at times?  Have you walked on broken glass?  Is an embedded sliver a possibliity?

You should see an orthopedist or a good podiatrist.  You may have fasciitis, which is an inflamation of the connective tissue of the foot.  Wear good shoes, no flip flops and ice your foot to help reduce inflammation.  Don't swallow the growing pains thing..if there is pain there is a problem.  This pain is the brains way of telling you that something is not normal/

You should check with your doctor on any of this.  I found the below information on www.mayoclinic.com\n\nBone spurs, also called osteophytes, are bony projections that grow along the edges of joints. The bone spurs themselves aren't painful. But they can rub against nearby nerves and bones and cause pain.\n\nBone spurs are often associated with osteoarthritis. In osteoarthritis, the cartilage of an affected joint is worn down and eventually you may have bone rubbing on bone, resulting in pain and inflammation. Your body may try to repair this damage by growing new bone (bone spurs) along the existing bone. This produces prominent lumps, usually on the hands, feet or spine.\n\nThere's no specific treatment for bone spurs. Treatment is typically directed at the underlying problem to prevent further joint damage.

You probably have flat feet or collasped arches. You can have them for a while and they dont bother you, then suddenly hurt like H***. See a podiatrist. Good luck

Yes, and it hurts like hell!!  The best thing to do is to stay off of it completely!  At least 3 weeks after diagnosed, start rehabilitation.  All I did for the first month after being diagnosed was rotate my foot. That stuff HURTS!!!

I am such a klutz and have broken all of my toes, except for my big toes.  I have a sofa that has a hide a bed in it, so whenever I try to move "the beast", I break a toe....or just walking past it I walk right into it.  Thankfully, that sofa is leaving me in a couple of weeks! \n\nAnyway...it hurts, no doubt about that.  The discoloration (purple, yellow, green) will take a few weeks.  For the pain...Tylenol extra strength and only wear shoes when you have to...I recommend flip flops right now or open toed.  Don't try jamming your toes into athletic shoes or formal wear shoes.  It's only going to take longer to heal.  I have been there! \n\nAs for your husband....if it's not broken, it's probably badly sprained.  I would suggest loosly taping it to it's neighbor or ice.  Also, only wear shoes when you have to.  If he really wants to know if it's broken, see a podiatrist or your primary care physician.  Hope that I have helped.
