Remove your shoe and sock and feel for any deformity. Gently run your
\nfingers up and down your toe. If your toe feels crooked or lumpy, it’s
\nmore likely that it’s broken than sprained.
\n <\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n
Step 2<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\nWiggle your toe. Severe pain suggests the toe is broken.\n<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
\n <\/p>\n
Step 3<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\nListen to your toe while wiggling it. If you hear a grating or popping
\nsound, a piece of bone may be rubbing against another piece of bone. <\/p><\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
\n <\/p>\n
Step 4<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\nCheck for swelling. If your toe is double its size in puffiness and the skin is stretched, your toe may be broken.\n<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
\n <\/p>\n
Step 5<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\nCompare your injured toe to the same toe on the other foot. If the
\ninjured toe looks shorter or deformed, chances are it may be broken. <\/p><\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
\n <\/p>\n
Step 6<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\nCheck your temperature. Within two to three hours after a bone breaks,
\nthe body’s natural defense mechanisms automatically raise your
\ntemperature. A fever above 99.6 degrees F (37.6 C) suggests the toe is broken. <\/p><\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
\n <\/p>\n
Step 7<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\nTry to stand for a minute or so. If your toe is broken, it won’t be
\nable to support your weight. A broken toe will tend to buckle
\nunderneath you when you stand on it. <\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
How can a little toe be so painful. I was on my way out of the house and quickly ran upstairs to get my ipod. There I kicked the bed with my little right toe. It hurt like mad. But I went downstairs and put my shoes of to go to the bank.
