She doesn't want to go to an Urgent Care or E.R. Anyone on here have medical experience with it?

The HTFU internet says to just tape it to the next toe and that nothing can be done. But the internet also likes Bieber and JWow.

 

[DirtyMike]

Well you really do want to get it checked out, it can actually become a serious problem in the long run. I mean nerve damage is a bitch even just in the pinky toe. My brother actually thought the same thing at one point and time, four days later it required surgery.

 

[HAB]

What DM said. I've got a toe that doesn't bend worth **** after I broke it and it healed incorrectly.

 

[Colonel Angus]

Can she still make you a sammich? If yes then don't worry about it.

 

[kazlx]

If it heals a little crooked, she might be able to get that much closer to the counter.

 

[CrabJoe StretchPants]

I broke a toe (crushed between pedal and rock), and was told to SIU,P because there was nothing that could be done for a broken toe. So, I did nothing. Now it's oddly shaped and doesn't move, but then again, it's a fvcking toe.

TL;DR: SIU,P

 

[Pesqueeb]

Did she kick an illegal?

Yes, if it's broken or dislocated, the answer is tape, and stay off it. But, as others have noted, I'd have it checked out, if for no other reason than to verify nothing else is going on. Pay your copay, lose an hour or two of your day, and consider it an investment in a pain free, healthy future.

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

If you have insurance and a reasonable co-pay then by all means have it looked at. However, there is probably not much that can be done other than taping it and wearing a cast boot to take the pressure off when walking. I've broken at least five toes and mine are all fine now.

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

Let me guess, she broke it putting her foot up your ass ?

Ironically no, she was taking a single step to hug me goodbye and caught her toe on the 2 millimeter high rise from bathroom tile to bedroom carpet. You've met her...she's tiny and fragile. She's tough minded though. Married me.

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

Tiny, yes. "Fragile", hell no. Remember, you two put on a pre-dinner wraslin match for me. She can toss her meat bucket husband around like a rag doll.

Tell her to SIUP?

Mine healed all Katywompus. Sometimes when I put socks on it gets stuck and bends to the side. I don't notice it until the skin between the toes separates and splits and starts bleeding. I just tape it to the other toe until the skin heals up. When I go swimming people notice it and cringe. It looks painful, but it is not.

 

[johnbryanpeters]

I gots one of them trick toes. try it now.

 

[HardtailHack]

A friend of mine had a wire inserted in his big toe and when attempting to get out of a car it caught on the dash and pulled out a bit, he tapped it back in with a hammer and all was well, your wife will be fine.

I am kidding, she may be fine but there's a chance she won't so you want to get it sorted quick as getting arthritis in the pinky would suck nuts.

I have decided that if a collarbone goes again I won't bother getting an X-Ray, there's no point.

Women don't like their toes to look like Pork Rinds. Get it fixed....

Even if you put eggs on it?

 

[bizutch]

THe moneky is good for something. I read you guys comments and it persuaded her to go to the walk in clinic at the Sports Med. place I'm having physical therapy at.

Not broken, black and blue and nasty swollen. But she found out that apparently in her past she had broken the first two to the point that there are now two most likely fused bones at the tip, which is why the sprain she has is so painful.

Walking boot and buddy taped. Ironically, she admitted that she is happy to know exactly what it is. Doc made her feel better b/c he's an avid runner too and said she'll get back quicker this way. She LOVES to run.

SIUP.


i've broken the big toe on my left foot so many times that the joint between the proximales and mediae phalange have fused together.

 

[canadmos]

You got her a custom walking boot, right? I'd be stoked about that too.

 

[Jm_]

Have Jesus heal it.

 

[cecil]

Cut it off

 

[JohnE]

Are you looking for random thoughts or actual meaningful input?

 

[cecil]

If it's going to be disfigured and immobile

If it looses feeling and is basically useless

Yea why not

 

[JohnE]

Took a slapshot off the toe from a big Russian guy a few games ago. Hurts like hell, but not much I can do about it except wait for the nail to peel off this summer...

 

[chillindrdude]

unless that bone is sticking out of skin. and there isn't horrible dislocation (meaning that the pinky is pointing off in some random direction), just splint the toe by taping it to the adjacent toe. throw a boot on it (if you want) and call it a day.

*disclaimer* this should not be construed as official medical advice or meant to be as such. please consult your physician if you have any concerns.

I'm quoting this to acknowledge the use of katywompus, although I'd have gone with the more traditional 'katywAmpus'.


Carry on.

Why thanks. My feet hurt, will you rub them for me?

 

[weedkilla]

I'm gobsmacked that the suggestion hasn't been made that she just needs to rub it on her ear.

 

[bizutch]

The meaningful input literally helped. It persuaded her to get it checked out for peace of mind. She's a pretty intense runner and knowing made her feel way better than not knowing.

The monkey works....it works.
