Broken toes: Do you bother going to a doctor?

As long as it'd not a big toe all they'll do is just set it straight and maybe strap it down a little while, right? So why bother?
Pain is a mere annoyance, I'm sitting behind a desk most of the day anyway.
 
Unless I lean on the foot with my full weight it's ok, guess I'll check this evening whether it's setting right, and if so will just take it easy a little while to let it heal.
 
Considering I don't break toes and fingers everyday..

Actually, I've never broken a toe or finger..


I'd probably go to the doctor if it hurt bad enough..
Better safe than sorry.


 
My father broke his toe a few times (in his life), 1x went to doctor, after that didn't bother as you said, no need really.

 
If you go to the doctor, all he's gonna do is tape it to another toe and charge ya some money. Then tell you to leave.

Go get some medical tape, tape it to the one next to it, and buy yourself a nice dinner with the $$$ you saved.
 
i have broken 2 toes and one finger. Never bothered going to the doctor. The toes were both the little ones that got caught when i miss judged doors 😱
 
My wife just broke her toe last saturday....

Went to church that night..... got up the next morning for church
and then worked all week.... She is a tough one

she is about 110 pound petite woman and works in a warehouse...

I hate when that happens, all you cna do is wince in pain
 
I've broken all my toes and fingers as well as dislocated most of them (hockey = fun) and it's not worth going to the doctor. Like they said, a lil tape and possibly a splint(for a finger) and you're out the door. My X-ray jacket is too thick to just wander in for a finger or toe anymore. Unless it looks like the toenail is gonna fall off or something, I wouldn't go.
 
This is an interesting thread, being that I slammed my big toe into a rock on the beach yesterday, and it hurts pretty bad :/. Fvcking beach.

Yes, it's the beach's fault that you lack the ability to walk.
