This morning I hit my little toes (the two smallest ones, on my left foot) on the side of a door. I was turning to go out of the door and hit it on the corner... For a few hours it was really hard to walk on and now it doesn't hurt as much, so what do you think? Are they really broken? I won't go to the doctor, because they'll just say tape it or some such. If I try to bend it or stretch my foot/toes, it hurts a lot, also when I go down/up stairs it hurts more than before.

I would just say, tape your toes and let them heal for a day or two and try not to bend them. I can't personally say if they are broken as I've never broken mine or know someone who has broken their toes.

If it was broken, you'd know.

 

 

 

But for piece of mind, go see a medical professional. I doubt any one can give a diagnosis on a physical injury over the Internet, least of all on Tip.It.

Something tells me you've never broken a bone before in your life.

 

 

 

[i.e., get over it [kitty]]

I had that a while ago with my big toe, I hit a bench with it trying to kick a ball kinda hard.

 

 

 

Hurt like hell all day but was completely healed 2 days later. I suggest you just wait, if the pain's still there after a week or something go see a doctor.

I know someone who broke a little bone somewhere in his foot and walked around with it for like 2 months. When he finally went to a doctor because it kept hurting, they took pics and it turned out he'd broken something. It doesn't always have to hurt like mad, really.

I've heard stories of the same thing.

Stomp on them, just to be sure.

Yea my dad once broke his thumb and just thought it was "badly bruised" for about two weeks before he got it checked out by a doctor and found it was broken.

 

 

 

Anyways, you should probably go and have it checked out just in case it is broken to avoid any long term damage. Better safe than sorry! ;)

I broke my arm, and didn't realize it was broken until 2 weeks later. They almost had to re-break it.

 

Same happened with my foot.

 

 

 

Of course, these were both hairline fractures. If they were compound fractures, I'm pretty sure I'd just cry my eyes out.

I'm sure tipit is real qualified to give you medical advice.

You think you've broken your toe, so you come to a Runescape fansite forum for advice? Really?

 

 

 

Ever heard of a Doctor?

i know of 3 doctors that use tipit, or rather 2 are studying and one says he is a surgeon. the surgeon might be lying, but i prefer to give people the benefit of the doubt. i have no reason not to believe him.

Eh, I've broken my wrist before and even doctors only thought I'd sprained it until I got an X-ray because of the hurts.

 

 

 

You should get an X-ray.

But unless they get to see/feel/hear/smell/taste his foot, they won't be much help.

People in OT break their toes when they're bored.

Stop. Now.

Just feel around and see if it anything feels out of place......? :shock:

Hahaha, yea;

 

I broke my arm once with my jacket on and my arm literally dangled mid-forearm down if I didn't hold it up. So walked home to get a ride to the hospital bawwwling and my parents were just "put some ice on it", when I let go to show them my arm bending the wrong way :lol:

 

 

 

Back on topic, your foot isn't broken. Some people have those "tough man" stories, where they walk around with broken feet, but they're just blowing air.

My brother had a broken vertabrae in his neck (he's a hockey golie) for days without knowing it. He was literaly walking around with a neck with a craked vertabrae. Now it hurt him alot, but the family doctor said it was just 'something' (which I dont rember) so come back in a week. He got an X-ray at teh childrens hospital when it got worse and sure enough he had a broken neck.

 

 

 

Now if your toe was broken, you'd probably be in alot more pain and I figure you would know it. Tape the foot and let it get better. As a point of interest, you might have cracked a toe bone. That would probably hurn alot, but not as much as a break. So definatly tape it or something.

Keep it broken tbh. I broke my toe w/o knowing it, and now its longer than my big toe. :twss:. Now I can say I got one foot from one side of the family, and one foot from the other (yes it is genetic in my family to have your index toe longer than your big toe). :twss:

Wrap it up and ice it if you want to if its swelling. Avoid walking directly on it for a week or two. That's what a doctor would probably say. Its not that big of a deal, unless its completely smashed.

If it was broken, you'd know.

 

 

 

That's what they always say. Believe me, it's very frequent where a person breaks something minor and doesn't know about it until they see a doctor some time later because the pain didn't go away.

 

 

 

I was playing basketball a year ago and injured my finger going for a rebound against a guy a foot taller than me. At that time I was too into the game to feel anything more than a bit of pain. It's happened before, as far as I was concerned it was a minor jam and would go away eventually. Well two days go by and the swelling didn't go away and the middle of the finger was turning blue. So I went to a doctor and found out I broke it.

 

 

 

Jamming a finger or toe is very common and the pain of a broken digit is almost the same as a jammed one. So chances are you'd have to wait to see if the pain goes away, then see a doctor after a day or two.
