How to treat a bad toe injury?

I think I may have broken my big toe. Its been swollen and discolored for the past two days I know the doctor wont do anything but I need to know when its ok to go back to work I’ve already missed one day and cant really afford to miss any more bu I also dont want to further injure my toe. What should I do???

Answer #1

Just go easy walking on it. Take something for the pain, and go to work. Once its broken there is nothing that can be done, so if its messed up in a way that could get worse, theres nothing you can do. What I found helped me was having shoes one size too big, so there was a little extra room in the shoe.

Answer #2

it would be best to see the doctor so they can take a look at it because if the bones are crooked and they heal like hat you could have trouble later on or it may be seriouse and need surgery and if its going to be okay theyll bandage it up for you either way avoid strenuous exercise, prolonged standing, and walking for a few days and crutches may be needed, or a special shoe to wear when walking to avoid putting weight on it while it heals and keep it elevated and rested for a fw days too try to avoid as much walking and standing on it as you can untill it feels better
