Buddy tape it, motrin for pain, elevate and wear a comfortable shoe for at least 3 weeks.

Feels TERRIBLE when I wrap it with ace. Ill try to tape it. Still no swelling. I've been icing it.

No foot pics unless it gets worse.

There is literally nothing today's medicine can do for a simple toe fracture. If you did break it - the doctor will say: "You broke your toe, thank you for your $2500 and goodbye." A cast doesn't help a broken toe - you still bear weight. An ace bandage doesn't help a broken toe - you still bear weight. The ONLY thing you can do is to not walk on it.

Yep my best friend broke her foot and the doctor gave her crutches and told her to stay off of it completely for 6 weeks, nothing else.

Its just stiff now and it actually is a pain in the ass to sleep because every which way I sleep it seems its always hitting just the right spot on my foot.

I gotta see if anyone has crutches I can use.

whatever else you do, don't get hooked on oxycontin for the pain, just tough it out
