Anyone ever break a toe?

[TheHipHopBillGates]

I took a spill during BJJ tonight shit is all swollen up and purple and I'm just wondering how long before I can get back into it, or if I'm fucked for a period of time?

if its broken it will take a while to heal just like any bone fractures. they dont really do anything for broken toes, unless its really serious. your best bet is to get something solid between your broken toe and a healthy one and tie a broken toe to it to make sure it heals properly. you may even have to rock one of those orthopedic shoes for a while. take motrin for pain. good luck.

Yep.. And there is absolutely nothing you can do about it.. Other than tape your toes together... Took my toe like two months before it was normal looking again..

tape a toe to another toe youll be fine, take advil. never broke a toe by smashed the tip of a finger once, splintered the bone.

you think I'll be able to work out on it? I can walk but I guess running is probably a no go? If I tape it up, grappling?

[LittleBouncer]

tape it and get back on the mat its no excuse not to train

[chrisd1163]

I think out of all my injuries on the mat, broken toe was the most prohibiting. Everyone near the ring heard it snap. It was just the pinky toe and this is what it turned into. At least I got to work on nothing but my boxing for 2 weeks.

You'll probably need close to a week off. Work on keeping the swelling down so it can begin the healing process. The only grappling I was able to do was working with someone in my guard. I couldn't do any grappling off my feet for about 2 weeks. It hurt for well over a month though.

i would seriously give it some rest. there is no need to risk making it much worse unless you are training to compete

Broke both my pinky toes.. it SUCKS LOL

i fractured my big toe in 5th grade, a 150 pound mirror hanging on a wall fell on it and i had to wear a weird velcro shoe it was annoying n the dr wouldnt give me pain meds

you got some little piggys lol






i broke mine and taped to other toe but it never healed as beautifully as they originally were

[HousemuzeeK]

my co-worker broke his pinky a while ago...but that's because he's just a fat, slovenly sloppy young man who has poor coordination because he's idle all the time....he showed me a photo of the toe, and it looks all purple...he hasn't been to the hospital for it or anything...he said the swelling went down and he's going to leave it the way it is....

listen to lil bouncer.

tape that shit up and get going. you can chop your pinky toe off you don't need em. in 1,000,000 years we won't have pinky toes anyhow they will go away from evolution. we rarely use them, if it was a big toe i would say you may have a problem.

if you are doing any muay thai obvously don't throw kicks and knees, but for BJJ i would say rest a few days for the swelling but get back asap. all part of the job. ;-)

I think thats just from all the swellling. made my toes look kinda stumpy. I couldn't get my foot into a shoe for a week.

I would have to respectfully disagree. Although I agree that manning up and doing work is the best option for many, for some it's best to take some time to let it heal. If it was a matter of cutting the toe off and moving on that would be a great option, but unfortunately, that shit hurts. There is shit to work on, no need to stay on the couch and be lazy but to stick to your normal routine is a little unreasonable. Unless you count on this to pay your bills like lil bouncer, probably better off getting better first.

never broke my toes...but 6 months ago i dropped a big can of tomato sauce on my big toe it didnt break but under my nail is still black and blue

[ateam333]

I broke my big toe when I was 14 - I was on a trampoline in someone backyard and did not realize I was that close to the edge and backflipped over. Fucking killed. It took about 4 months to heal and I can still crack it whenever I want.

[Conor]

I basically crushed the front half on one toe in the middle of football season in college... Taping it to the other toe just made it hurt worse.. I never rested it, hurt like fuck and is ugly as sin cuz it healed all wrong.. but fuck it, feet are meant to be ugly.. I say tough it out, it'll be pain free in 2 months.. Ice it a few times a day to keep swelling down

[chachie]

i might've lol.. but i def broke my tailbone once and my rib another time ...OUCH!
but i had to sit on a donut for a month w/ the tailbone thing
