How do I know if my toe is broken?!
Question: How do I know if my toe is broken.?
Earlier today I dropped an 836 page hardcover book on my bare feet (don't ask), a corner of it hitting my big toe right in the center. It's black, blue and red where it hit and tender to the touch. I can walk with no trouble though really and it really doesn't hurt at all when I put pressure on it to walk.
Until I can get it checked out, do you think it's broken.?Health Question & Answer

Answers:
If it's swollen very bad that may be why it doesn't hurt the swelling can put pressure on the nerves and keep them from hurting. You can walk with a broken toe. If you can bend it, it's not broken. If it is broken there isn't much they can do for it. Take some aspirin, advil something that will help with the swelling and the pain before it starts.Health Question & Answer
depends on how fast the blackened bruise came upon. If you can walk on it, idk, but it could be a bad sprain, or simply, a really bad bruise. Get it checked out just in case, thoughHealth Question & Answer
