I had a weight dropped on my toe?!


Question: I had a weight dropped on my toe.?
about 1 1/2 monthes ago i was working out, when a friend of mine dropped a 5 pound weight on my toe. (i know its not that much weight...) it hurt really bad then and i thought it would go away. But now, 1 1/2 monthes later its still quite red and kinda swollen compared to my other toes. Could it be broken.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
People often over-look broken fingers and toes thinking that they do not require medical treatment. Problem is you could have a serious fracture. The fracture could be rotated, unstable, or have joint involvement. Lets not also forget about tendons. :( 1 1/2 months and still in pain...you probably hurt it really bad. You should get see a podiatric dr./surgeon and get a diagnosis.Health Question & Answer

Yes it could be broken and its probably messed up since you didnt go to a doctor right away... if u go to the doctor theyll take xrays and give u a boot if u broke it then ull have to wear the boot for abouot three weeks does it hurt when u apply pressure like standing on your tippy toes if it does then its probably brokeHealth Question & Answer
