Broken toe
Not for baby but for me. I’m not sure if I should get an appointment with the doctor or not, I’m not usually the type to be bothered for getting checked over small things but a few people have said I should have it looked at.
I think I broke my toe a few weeks ago, it’s still swollen in different places, bent and the top part is purple, with the whole toe going purple if I’m cold.
Should I see someone or will it heal fine?
I can walk on it, move my foot and point toes etc.
Been made to think I’ll get sepsis or something or it will cause future implications if it’s not been properly repaired etc. it doesn’t help I keep bashing it again.
It’s my third toe along for reference, not a big toe!

they don’t do anything for broken toes in hospital unless it’s your big toe. any other toes they’ll just tell you to use painkillers and wait till it sorts itself out. i hope that it heals nice and quickly for you xx
I’m pretty sure I broke my toe a while ago. I stumped it and it absolutely wrecked I couldn’t walk on it properly for a good while & it went black there’s nothing you can do with a broken toe though. You will be fine 🙈
Like Hannah said they don't do anything unless it's your big toe. Strapping it up might help though. They would pop it back in place if it looks dislocated, do you think it could be dislocated?
Use medical tape or plasters and bandage it to the toe next to it

I think it all depends on the person about getting it checked! I’ve broken my toes so many times I don’t even bother because I always get told the same “Nothing we can do, just ice and pain meds like Tylenol” but some others go to the dr, having the reassurance that nothing else is wrong with it ! If you feel you need to then go but if you feel okay then you can wait it out a tad more and see if it heals!
