tape the toe to the toe next to it. wrap some tissues around the whole thing and dont tie your shoe too tight. you'll be ok as long as you go easy on it. i took karate for a long time, and broke the same toes several times. its sucks. painful, but not life threatening.

Either have it cut out, cut it out yourself, or soak it in some hot water with Epsom salt...the epsom salt helps the pain and softens your toe so you can cut out the toenail

Yes. The bones in your toes and fingers are called phalanges. Your pinky toe has 3 bones.  (The thumb and big toe have two phalanges, while the other fingers and toes consist of three.). You may be able to look it up in a reference book if you need more details.

The best way is to have the nail removed.  See your doctor; this can be done under a local anesthetic in the office. It is not a long or complicated procedure.

three to six months for initial healing...  (unless it's just your pinkie-toe).  then it could be another year or so before the bone is solidly healed, so go light on it for a while, and drink plenty of milk.

You can try bone lengthening - that is by increasing the height of the femur bone (in your leg) by a few inches...but its quite painful, an you will need to be using crutches until it heals.\n\nThe best method is to use artificial methods, like heeled shoes

Broken fingers and toes really stink, they hurt a lot and they can't really be casted cause you have to use them. This is what my mom suggests-shes a nurse!\n\nYou need to do a therapy of hot and cold. Hot water increases the blood flow causing it to heal faster and cold helps dull the pain away. Do this for 1/2 hour 3 times a day. \n\nYou also need to try to immobilize it a bit so it can rest, which I know is really hard because its your ring finger and you use it! You can tape it up or splint it with a tongue depressor or popcicle stick. Tape will be easiest, and allow you to still use it. Tape it up at night and and as often as possible. Swich the tape between hot and cold therapys. Use cloth tape (fisrt aid area of drug store) and only wrap it tight enough to be secure and comfortabel not to too tight. Take an Anti-Inflammatory (like advil or better yet aleve.) \nIt will take a while to heal but this routine it should be feeling much better in a week or two.\nRemember with the meds though, only take them if you need them. Tts not good to take them for a long time. If you can get along without it don't take it! And remember to read the label on the anit-inflammitory it's got important info.\n-Good luck

If it turns black in the next couple of days, it's probably broken.  They can't do anything with a broken toe except "buddy tape" it to the toe next to it, though, unless it's the big toe.\n\nHope she is okay!

Use Listerine mouth wash. Soak your toes in it.

First off, if any of part of your body hurts, you should tell your mom or dad.\nThen, if it hurts really bad, you should go to the doctor. All you have to do is follow the directions the doctor says. For example, if he or she tell you that you can't play in a sport for 5 weeks. Ok then if you want you can e-mail me if it is getting better. As home remedies, you can pull your toe a little at a time maybe 5-7 times a week.\n\n                                                  A normal dude, \n                                                               bballfreak61296

A home remedy is clear nail polish. It works. A doctor might prescribe atarax.

Much sympathy. I ruptured a disk doing Akido when I was 21. The doctors gave me exercises to do and told me to take ibuprofen. There's surgery that can "repair" the damage, so to speak, but at the loss of a certain amount of flexibility (they have to "fuse" the two vertabrae together), but they are somewhat reluctant to do it. Been putting up with the pain now for 29 years.\n\nOnly advice I can give is, if you really want to have the surgery raise bloody hell about it... switch doctors if the one you have won't do it. It's the only way to get results. Pain will be gone but you might not be able to touch your toes.

Yes, soak in water.\nClean any effected areas.\nCut nail STRAIGHT across.\ntake a little (VERY little) bit of cotton from a cotton ball, put UNDER (yes this will hurt) the part of the nail that wants to grow down into the toe, and repeat EVERY night, until the nail is trained to grow upward. Then, never, ever, cut toe nails any way except straight across.
