bruised toe. Autch =.=

Yesterday, the smallest toe of my left foot had a kind of unfriendly encounter with the dryer. It is quite swollen, blue and it hurts like *&^#&*% :sick:
Cant walk normal.. =.=
Does anyone know a simple reciepe to perhaps speed up the recovery? Last time this happened my toe stayed swollen for about 2 months (bye bye shoes) I would be most grateful! :D

Hmm... about 6 months ago, maybe longer, my toe had a run in with the corner of a wall.... as in forced away from it's buddies by the force of my foot kicking the wall to dodge a certain kitty cat...lol.

Ten minutes later, after I crawled to a chair, my toe was purple-black. Then it swelled up a lot... and hurt like the dickens for about two weeks. But after that, it was a lot better.

I'm pretty sure I did break it though, because if I bump it just right now, and not hard at all, it swells and bruises and hurts like crazy all over again!

Aaauuuu!
The same thing happened to me yesterday! And about 2 yrs ago I run into a table.
And it bloooody hurts! Also believe I broke it then too.

I think pretty much all you can do for a broken toe is tape it and try to stay off it a bit if you can. Ice, keeping it raised will also help. I don't know if this will help at all, but you could try soaking it inEpsom salt and warm water. I'd even add in a few drops of lavender oil, which has pain relieving properties, in addition to being relaxing.

Oh and as an FYI, I broke my little toe ummm... two years ago (?) and if I wack it just right, it still hurts. Bah.

Feel better!!

And of course a doctor can;t do much more then we can at home because what to fix a little two to? I think the big one is the only one they can reallly try to fix, isn't it?

[CryssieWillow]

No, going to the docter is quite useless.. =.=
Well I taped it today, and I must say, that I am able to walk almost without pain.
Ow luck ^_^
