Broken Toes

[CaraClementine]

Oh, I am quite certain that I broke my right baby toe yesterday! It is very painful!
I had an X-ray done this morning, and will hopefully get my results by the end of the week.

Unfortunately though, there is nothing that can be done for broken toes - short of buddy taping them.

I can barely walk on it, and certainly can't keep up my usual activities
Luckily, I can still indulge in some X-rated fun! There is a silver lining to most clouds, though. I will use my recovery time to do some heavier strength training for my upper body (hard to do, when you are stiff almost daily from athletics).

I am involved in several atheltic endeavours, and will now get behind in my training! When I fractured a finger, it tok forever to heal! I'm also vegetarian and so, admittedly, recovery time is slower for some.

Anyone else ever break their toe? How long was your recovery? Did you ever completely heal... long term complications with activities such as running?

By the way, I missed the first evening of my half marathon clinic.

Sorry to hear about your broken toe. Which toe do you think you broke it? Unless it is the big toe, hallux, you are right most toe fracture will be treated with buddy-taping, activity modification, and wearing unrestricted shoes. In rare case, surgery might be necessary if fracture involves in the large part of the joint or gross displacement. It is still very painful and takes about 2 month to heal. Hope this helps. Good luck.

T'was my 5th toe.. the baby toe. Middle phalanx possibly... hard to say if the pain is at that joint, or elsewhere. It is very swollen, and I have done everything wrong! lol

When it happened, it hurt, but I kept doing what I was doing (it was not stubbed, and nothing dropped on it)... then afterwards did not have time to ice it, as I had to work (my reg. career). I also didn't take anti-inflamatories (but if the bone is broken these impede healing).

I can't wear runners right now, which is promblematic given my career! lol
Yea... it took about 2 months for my finger fracture to heal!

Pinky toe! It seems to me you know exactly what to do. There were some animal studies showing anti-inflammatory medication can slow down healing of fracture, but no clinical research proven in humans yet. Electrical stimulation can enhance the healing process, but very expensive. Some people tape magnet directly on the fracture site at night to improve healing, but not proven.

Hot water , cold water and repeat.

Get the blood circulating in that area to help with healing process.

and Don't forget to have lot's of orgasms.

.
In that case, tape one of your vibrators to the toe.

It's electric, certainly designed for stimulation, and definitely not expensive.

On a serious note, I hope Cara Clementine's toe gets better real quick.

*sigh* At least it's the weekend for me now, and I have no regular work scheduled for after today! My work requires that I am standing, and moving around... so haven't been able to elevate much!

Such a small injury.... but such an impact, and debilitating!

I broke my big toe in a pillow fight, I could walk gingerly again within a week but it took a long time before I was back to normal. I've also lost the entire nail of both big toes on three seperate occasions. My feet have taken a beating.
