Dec 2009 at 14:57 15 year old Son was on a shelf in B&Q getting something down anyway, as he pulled it off the hook he slipped and kicked the shelf complained about his toe hurting a bit, anyway it's swollen already after about an hour, mrs. seems to think it could be broke, but he don't want to go up A&E, any doctors in the house? Hurts if he moves it too.

Reason I say that is an ex accidently kicked/caught a table leg and found out she had broke her toe.

Broke enough of them in my time to know You could try & see the Dr or the practice nurse

Dec 2009 at 15:11 As previously said not a lot to be done for broken toes if its a straight forward break. Worth getting it X-rayed just to check theres no complications though. Sooner rather than later in case it begins to heal in the wrong position! Sprained toes can be just as nasty pain wise.

I think all he can do is keep of it as much as possible untill it's healed.

I think I broke mine once when I kicked a car accidently as I was flying over it after it turned right in front of me without indicating and just as I started to overtake on a GS1000, smashed all the front of the bike too.

My toe hurt for ages, months. Funny thing it was the only thing I hurt in the incident.

Holy Count Ex Member	Re: Broken toe?? Reply #9 - 22. Dec 2009 at 17:44 Would at least get an x-ray. Cousin of mine chipped her toe, thought all was well and left it --- years later it started giving her hell and she ended up needing an op ( might add t'was the big toe, so more prone to damage and important for balance).
