See Megan !! I KNEW we were related somehow lol - I've broken THREE toes. One twice. We're both clutzes !
When you break your toe - you'll know it
usually they are bent to the side at the joint.... and there is no way you can put pressure or shoes on that foot. Do you have one of those orthepedic shoes that strap on ? You are going to be in some pain.
Our feet have the ONLY Bones in our bodies that support our FULL Weight ...and they can heal badly if you aren't careful. I have one middle toe that wasn't reset right and is very painful after a day of wearing the wrong shoes - or anything that touches it.
The best advise I can give you if you don't go to the doctor -is to TAPE that toe as straight as you can to the toe next to it. That's what my doctor did when I broke one of mine really bad.
