Broken pinky toe? stubbed it hard, its red and swollen. cant bear any weight at all. excruiting pain. no bruising yet. been about 10 hrs.

Possible fracture: Requires examination, x-ray and splinting. OK to use Advil or Aleve (naproxen) for pain/swelling if not allergic to these medications, Local ice for the first 24-48 hours.

U need to stabilize: ok if you just stubbed your toe 10 hours ago . you need to put ice on it wrapped in a towel. 30 minutes on 30 minutes off. You want to take an ibuprofen to control the swelling ( which is causing the pain as well ). And the n you need to get and X-ray.

Ice it: Definately could be broken, would recommend seeing a foot doc who will xray and possibly splint the digit and dispense a surgical shoe. The reason for the xray is to see if the joint is dislocated, if the fracture is intraarticular or if displaced.

Probably broken : you should have it examined and x-rayed, particularly if it is pointed in an abnormal direction.

Dang Gummit.: Your body's protective system is working perfectly. All the signs of a efficient inflammatory reaction are there. To counter the pain and swelling, ice and elevation to the area will help. The intensity should go down with a little time and OTC pain medication. When the swelling goes down you will need to splint the toe to prevent movement. If really concerned, the have it examined and x-rayed.

Trauma to toes: Stubbing a toe can be very painful. The only way to tell for certain if it is fractured is to have x-rays. But surgery is not usually required for a digital fracture unless the break is very displaced or it is intra-articular. I would buddy splint the toes gently together for splinting/support and if the pain persists for more than a week, go see a local Podiatrist.

Maybe: is it aligned normally? ice and rigid shoe. taping. get X-rays and evaluation

Broken toe: Apply ice and stay off of it. Try putting a cotton sock on if tolerable for now. You should get a foot xray to see if broken and how bad is the fracture. Feel better
