Can they do anything for....?
Dose anyone know if they do anything for broken toes? Or how you know it is broken without going to the ER.
well even if you did go to the er they would probably just put your foot in a cast . so they don't really do anything for it unless you want to put screws in your feet. So you will orbably just have to take it easy on that foot and wait for it to heal.

Broke my toes many times im clumsy anyway make sure u can bend it and that it works properly other than that let it heal use some medical tape or duct tape and wrap it in a paper towel then the tape make like a cushion for it . cut out the toe part of yer sock keep it warm when they get cold they ache worse and try to stay off it.

Huh

they dont usually do anything apart from x ray it to confirm the break or fracture. They usually just tape it to the next toe which acts as a splint , and you will know its break coz it hurts like hell to walk and its swollen .

All they do for Broken toes is wrap it up in tape and Say good Luck
j
not much except reset it if needed, and possibly tape it, depending on which toe it is.
tom everett scott is so cute!!!
all the er would do is charge you 500 bucks for maybe 2 or 3 xrays and tape ur broken toe to another toe
what i suggest u do is you walk on crutches for a few weeks

They wouldnt be able to anything for a broken toe. It will heal on its own.
These are things that can be done at home to help decrease the pain and swelling and to help the fracture heal properly.
Elevation
To decrease the swelling (and the pain), keep the foot raised above the level of the heart as much as possible.
Prop the foot up on some pillows, especially when sleeping. Reclining in a lounge chair is also helpful.
Ice
Put ice in a plastic bag and apply it to the injury for 15-20 minutes every 1-2 hours for the first 1-2 days.
Make sure to place a towel between the skin and the bag of ice to protect the skin.
Rest
Avoid any strenuous exercise, prolonged standing, or walking.
Crutches may be needed, or a special shoe to wear when walking to avoid putting weight on the fracture while it heals.
