    Stubbed my toe...

    ...pretty bad last night. The 4th toe (next to the big one). its bruised on the "knuckle" but no major swelling. Hurts to walk. Anyone have any home treatment remedies? I'm not sure a doctor can do much about it...

    Happened to me once.



    But seriously, if the bruise itself is tender, then you might just have to wait for it to heal. If areas of the toe outside of the bruise hurts, there is a slight chance it can be broken. Many people break their toes and never realize it.

    I'd wait a few days and see if it improves at all. Little swelling is a good sign though.

    In the past when I did something like that, I would ice it down & then rub some Vitaim E & Aloe Vera gel on it.....

    Just happened t me last night too. THe most painful thing on earth.

    I usually break into a cold sweat for a few moments. Then the pain simmers down a notch in about 4 minutes then I try to walk around on it as much as possible. If I'm still in pain at the end of the hour, Tiger Balm.

    If at the end of 2 hours, which hasn't happened yet (knocks wood), I see a podiatrist.
    And I, I took the path less traveled by
    and that has made all the difference......yet...
    I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.

    Thanks for the advice...long story short there was a bird in our house and I stubbed the toe on a pipe in the process of trying to get the damn thing...

    a lot of ice and walk on it. i dropped a cinder block on my foot the other day and even though i didn't break anything i still had to grab a needle to get enough blood out so that i could even tie my shoe. (was very, very swolen) i don't recommend the needle treatment though....

    I believe the correct name for it is a "Murse".... Not that I'd know anything about that or anything... 8)
