Question: HELP me, please.? Big toe is swollen and hurting....?
okay, so i am a gymnast. i usually have good balance, but yesterday i was wearing a 20 lb pair of weights on my ankles, and doing leaps. Then, i tripped over my right big toe! it is swollen, but not huge. when i broke my elbow, it didn't swell hardly at all, and i was out for 6 months! anyway, i am scared i did something to it. i don't have a full range of motion in it, and my big toe is slightly blue. i have iced it for a total of like, 5 hours, in 2 days! the swelling went down over night more or less, so my parents don't want to take me to the doctor. it hurts to flex my toe, and a little to point it. it also hurts to walk. what should i do.? help!Health Question & Answer
Answers:
Sound like a small fracture, might be what they call a 'basket ball break' where the knuckle in your toe has broken. This is usually caused by a stress fracture from hitting the toe/finger on the tip, like when you catch a ball. see your GPHealth Question & Answer
