Depending on the location and severity of the toe fracture, the fracture may need to be reduced (put back into place) and splinted or casted. If there is an open wound near the injured toe, a tetanus shot and antibiotic medication may also be necessary. To decrease the swelling (and the pain), keep the foot raised above the level of the heart as much as possible. Prop the foot up on some pillows, especially when sleeping. Put ice in a plastic bag and apply it to the injury for 15-20 minutes every 1-2 hours for the first 1-2 days. Make sure to place a towel between the skin and the bag of ice to protect the skin. Avoid any strenuous exercise, prolonged standing, or walking.

Have you gone to a doctor yet?  It might be a sprain or a strain.  That can take anywhere from a few weeks to a year to heal.  I would stay off of it, and use ice if it starts to hurt too badly.  20 minutes with the ice, and 1 hour without it.  Do not keep the ice on for too long, because that can cause damage in and of itself.  I hope you heal up soon, babe!

get popsicle sticks and dont bend. make a splint. that is just temporary. go see a doctor ASAP. maybe the fracture isn't just a crack. maybe there are bone chips inside the it might damage some nerves. go see a doctor ASAP

Chances are you didn't tear a ligament.  If you tore a ligament there would be little pain your foot would be very loose.  It sounds as if you have sprained it or that it may be bruised.  If you were hit on the top part of your foot it may be bruised.  If you were playing baseball or basketball and fell on it wrong you may have a sprain.  If you can't remember and it is continually getting worse you may have been bitten by a spider or some other creature.  If ice doesn't make the swellen go down, definitely go to the doctor after a day.\n\nGood Luck\n\nCoach

I get exactly the same thing! The toe next to the big one seises up with cramp and crosses underneath. I cant stop it, and it really hurts doesnt it! None of my friends get it, is it just us? There is this good site which expains a bit about it, dont worry tho, you are not alone!

Well, sounds like you finger is hurt, Eh. Up in the Great White North me and the boys tape em' up and play some puck. But Just rest it and get a splint to keep it from moving and gets hit or knocked again est something. So yea, Eh, it will get better in a week or two but if its broken you probably be in more pain. If you are see the doc about it.

Go to a doctor immediately.  I had something similar happen to me as a teen.  What I didn't know is I tore a tendon right off the bone.  My other tendons compensated and over the years started snapping off one by one.  Each time I'd be in horrible pain and couldn't walk right for a few weeks.  In my 30's my wife finally got sick of me complaining so she made me go to the doctor.  One MRI later and we found all I had left was one tendon.  The large one in front.  They had to cut me open.  They sliced the strips from the big tendon and reattached them to my knee.  Two months of painful physical therapy later and my leg won't straighten the whole way.\nThe plus side is I don't occasionally fall without warning.\nLet this be a cautionary tale.  Get to a doctor.  Better safe than sorry.

Wasn't running but was hiking and felt a weird twinge in my leg, I thought that I should stop and rest and massage or stretch but the I thought "No, this isn't a good spot and I've only got 2 more miles to go." Hurt to walk or stand for next 3 days.\n\nFeel free to laugh.

You need to get it x-rayed. Sometimes, a jammed finger, or one that is sprained hurts worse than an actual break! Trust me, I've had many!

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!!!

Since I've had several broken bones, some very major, I'd have to say my toes because they've been broken many times, don't require a cast, have a lovely dark purple color when broken and hurt only for a week or so.  Last one I had, I was dancing and my partner stepped on my toe....didn't feel much at the time because we were drinking vodka, but the next day, it was uncomfortable.  What an interesting question!

you may have a bone spur or bunion. Should be evaluated by a foot doctor.

You should make an appointment with your doctor to have it looked at.\n\nIt could be from something as harmless as a blunt trauma to the toe, which often takes a while to work itself out and effect the nails.\n\nBut it could also be a symptom of some more serious problem or fungus.

I am so glad you asked.\nEpson salt and really hot water-soak your infected foot. If you get them concurrently like I had in the past, go to the podiatrist, have him to a procedure on you that consists of numbing your toe up, cutting the nail off, jabbing huge q-tips with a chemical called phenyll on them down  into your  sides of the toe, and wrapping them up and wabam, ur done. Umm, I made that sounds REALLY painnful, but it is not at all, I watched the whole thing conscious, but then again, I was numbed up. Have fun, andif  you have any further questions email me at lawguy04_1984@hotmail.com... :-)

It could be a pinched nerve - you need to go see your family doctor first.  \n\nI have a numb big toe and it's caused by scar tissue that formed after my back surgeries and it's pinching a nerve to make the big toe numb. \n\nYou might have the same thing as me or it could be something totally different.  You need to see a doctor and have a complete work-up to find out what is causing your numb toe.\n\nDo you shoes fit correctly - sometimes that can cause numbness.  Good luck!
