A member asked:
What can i do for a broken bone adjacent to big toe as on a 17 week waitin list to see a surgeon and in so much pain with it?

ER: If you have a broken bone, you should present to the er for evaluation. Waiting 17 weeks is unreasonable.

Stiff shoes: Wearing a wide, stiff soled shoe may help. Ice, elevation and advil (ibuprofen) should also help.
