A member asked:
I'm quite sure i broke my index & middle toe- i've been doing rules of rice- when should i stop ice? i broke them 2 weeks ago

You should see a: Foot doctor. How do you know the nature of a break if present? If it is intraarticular or not? The ice at this point is not as much a concern as how bad a break if present.....I think an xray would be wise.....On the ice front, if there is no pain and swelling gone you could stop, if still there, still ice.....
