Doctors of /b
I stubbed my toe last night and woke up to this. How do I know if it's broken? I can move it and it hurts. It really hurts if I move it with my hand.
If it's stationary it doesn't really hurt?
Anyone Ever break a bone or toe?

Looks to me like you have a small hairline fracture in the lower joint. That is most likely the cause of your pain swelling and discoloration
Looks like it's broken mate, there's nothing you can do about it, try to immobilize it as much as you can and take some painkillers.
It's gonna take some time to heal. A month or 2.
Let it be, wear loose shoes.
Go to a doctor in the real world.

I broke the joint on my right pinky. Was basically the same thing. Not really anything you can do. Just wait it out. Might heal a bit crooked but aside from that youll be fine.
Tape the 3 middle ones together to help immobilize it. Ice and elevate at night. Also take ibuprofen, naproxen, or other NSAID.
Hit it with a hammer. If it hurts, you're good to go! That just mean your pain receptors are fully functional and operational. Trust me.

did the exact same thing to exact same toe (other foot tho) get some wound dressing tape and tie the fucked toe to the index toe and boom your good to go

and do what? get charged a couple hundred bucks for a doctor to tell you Its broken and there's nothing he can do about it?
they don't do shit about toes unless there's bones sticking out or the toe is sideways or something serious like that

Buy some non-stick tape and a little gauze from the drug store. You want something between the toes (nothing thick) when you tape them together. check 'em often to make sure you don't wrap them too tight. If they turn blue (other than the bruising) as time goes on, get thee to a doctor.
Same thing happened to me a few weeks ago, still hurts while walking, but it's a lot better.

>How do I know if it's broken?
RTG
get ice, apply for 5-10min, then put it away for an hour, then again
go to hospital

It's just badly bruised mate, give it a few days and it will heal. Source: I have a PhD in toes
