Hurt my big toe but little swelling?!
Question: Hurt my big toe but little swelling.?
I hurt my big toe and there is some swelling but no bruising.. But it harder for me to bruise (i don't know why).. I went to the doctors and they took no x-rays and said it was fine just ice and motrin(I was there for a check up).. It hurts a lot when I walk.. What could I do to make walking easier.? Should I return to the doctor or just forget it.? If my toe is broken then I know it can be casted since its my big toe.. I cant tie it to the next toe because it makes it hurt more..Health Question & Answer
Answers:
It is not possible to know without an x-ray if it is broken or not.. You need to go to the emergency room where they will need to give you an x-ray..
Stop listening to people who say nothing can be done for a broken toe.. A big toe is different than the rest of your toes it can be set in a cast that wraps around your foot and up your leg part-way..

Well I am sorry about your big toe! If the doc says it is not broken then I would trust him! probably not walking on it would help it not hurt if you did walk on it :) But just wait a few more days and see how it goes if it really Really REALLY hurts bad then I say go back to the doc and tell him that you would like a x-ray!
