Guest guest Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 This happened to me a few years ago but to the toe next to the pinky one. I was crossing the den in the dark at 4am with a full cup of coffee and stubbed my toe on something and tried to muffle a scream so as not to wake the family and keep the coffee from spilling at the same time. It took about two weeks for it to quit hurting. Turned all black and blue all the way up my foot. Stasia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 Pat, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I broke me pinky toe in early June. I can now wear tennis shoes (that took about a month!) but I still can't wear other closed toe shoes. And even in tennis shoes when I've been on it a while or walking fast it hurts! Leave the tape on for at least a month (you DO have it taped don't ya?) It really takes a good 6-8 weeks for it to heal and then it still will be sore at times, especially if you bump it (which keeping it taped helps to keep from bumping it) Stefanie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I simply cannot wait that long to heal! I HAVE to wear tennis shoes!!!!!! And then I have to run on the court! I just taped it today (this happened on Friday). I have also started to elevate it and ice it (I did this the first day but diodn't know I needed to do it for a week). Plus, my husband just called and told me we have a dinner on Friday with some corporate types at a really nice restaurant...I have to wear a shoe!!!! Then next week I don't know if I can find subs...they are hard to get in the summer. Pat Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 29, 2003 Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 I've done that before - it hurts! Mine took about three weeks to get to where I could do normal activities again. You might tape it to the next one for stability. And ice it if it's swollen. Good luck! Libby I broke my toe! This last Friday I was doing my workouts and in between sets I tend to go to the computer....well, I get up and hurry to my weight bench only to stub my toe so bad it broke! (the baby one). So now I am bruised up to the middle of my foot...the toe is huge and soooo sore and gee...there goes tennis for at least a week (can't put on a shoe) and my workouts will suffer some also. I am suppoed to do my L.B. today ...I know I can do some but even just walking hurts and I want to let it heal as quickly as possible. I am thinking to do just some floor work....I will try dead lifts and see what they do...no calf raises for me though and no lunges..... I guess that's what you get when you work out nude and do not even wear shoes! Anyone know how long it takes for a toe to heal???
