A member asked:
Im not sure if i badly jammed, sprained or strained my big toe. can you help me figure out what i did to it and how to fix it ?

Big toe: Ice it. Elevate it when sitting. Tape it to the next toe for support. Wear comfortable footwear. Even if the toe is fractured, there is no other treatment.

No: This site is designed to answer general health care questions. To answer your questions will require physical examination and probably imaging. You can consider making an appointment with a local Podiatrist. As to how to fix it, treatment will depend on the accuracy of the diagnosis.
