Do I Need to Heal My Broken Toe by Wearing a Special Shoe?

[@Jayci.Nicole]

My 3rd toe is fractured and it’s been a week. And I’m still in pain 😢 I take IBU 800’s like it’s going out of style. I soak my feet in epsom salt with hot water. I tried everything. I’m so miserable I can barely sleep

[@shaynepd]

Probably too late now but be careful taking too much IBU

Thanks...not that you're biased!

Thanks for the video. I broke my toe 1.5 years ago (little toe) and still getting swelling and discomfort in the top part of the foot where the toes are. I then slightly bumped the toe for the first time while getting in the bath (didn't hit it hard) and it swelled up and bruised (the impact was not enough for a bruise so it must have been all internal). I had an xray and the bone has healed. So wondering if the ligaments are damaged permanently, anybody else had this issue? Do I need to tape my toe for life as it's maybe weak now or something?

The country that I live in doesn’t have a podiatrist and my Mom broke her big toe (she’s 76) the traumatologist told her she doesn’t need a splint or walking boot but I’m worried as she’s quite active and is always walking as part of her general daily life. Should she get a walking boot? If we have to get one we’d have to order online. I’m wondering what the best one would be and what we should look for in such a boot? It’s her left foot and the fracture seems to be on the side of the big toe that is closer to her right foot. Grateful for any guidance.

Thank you!

thanks for the video, doc. i broke my pinky toe, and it affected the joint also, it’s been 3 months now. my question is, can i wear clog crocs? as it’s the comfortable shoes for me now because it’s wide and doesn’t hit my toes. thanks in advance!

I have the same question.

[@kittenslitteone8269]

I kicked an 8 pound weight.🤣🤣🤣 It was in the middle of my floor and I was on my way to my bed after turning off the light😅

[@DrAndrewSchneider]

OUCH!!! So sorry that happened. I can only imagine how much it hurt!

[@iftiali]

Excellent presentation! Thank you.

I know those feels. I kicked a ten-pound weight that was near my bedroom door rushing to answer the doorbell! I thought I just stubbed it until I looked down and see my pinky toe is spread faaaaar away from the rest and I go "...oh. That's a concern." 😹🐾

[@kittenslitteone8269]

@ThaGataNegrra oh noooo! Ya, that's definitely a concern!😅 thankfully, Mines is doing better now, but having said that, before it was healed I ended up re-stubbing the broken toe... on one of those gallon mayonnaise bottles😅🤣😭 I hope you and your toe are feeling a bit better!
