Stubbed Pinkie Toe

(2 discussions)

I stubbed my right pinkie toe, on our metal Treadmill, that we have in our Bedroom. Toes pretty banged up, and swelled up pretty badly. Now my whole foot is swollen, and I can move none of my toes too much. Been putting ice on it, toe is starting to tingle alot. There’s pain when it tingles, but no bruising. Not sure if its broken, but pretty sure its not, just banged up pretty bad. Question is: I exercise alot, should I still try exercising, or just try to take it easy for a while?? Any other suggestions, please feel free to let me know.

    I recommend you see a podiatrist to have your foot x-rayed. Until you know more, I recommmed you take it easy.

    I don’t have much money, and I have no insurnace where I live. Now my right foot, is swollen about the size of a orange, just on the bottm half. I have had surgery on that foot, about 3 yrs. ago, my foot was stepping down, they had to break my toe (next to the big toe), and pop it back into place. Had fluid built up in it, to relieve the pressure, had to cut it open. I don’t wanna have to go through that again, if possible. Any other solution??
