Broken Toe
By:

I slipped yesterday going down the stairs and my foot hit the wall hard. It immediately swelled up and hurt to apply pressure on. Today I have one toe that turned black and blue and is at an odd angle. It hurts to walk. Is it broken and do I really need to go to the doctor's office? I'm only hesitaint to go because I am single with small kids and don't want to go alone. Plus I'm scared I'll get a huge bill :-( I've been off my feet all day trying to let it rest but it doesn't feel much better. What should I do?

You need to go to a doctor, like, right away! I have broken bones in the past, and it sounds like you have broken a toe. At the least, you have done some damage to it that needs some professional attention.

Staying off the offended appendage will at least soothe it's nerves!

take yourself to the foot doctor right away. it might be broken. the same thing happend to me once. you should take it easy the foot doctor will take an xray to check it out to see if is broken. then they might wrap your foot with gauze. it will be ok.
