A member asked:
I'm pretty sure i have a broken big toe. would a "buddy wrap" be necessary while sleeping?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can help: Buddy taping can help as it will splint the broken toe to the adjacent toe. While not absolutely required when you sleep, i would probably consider doing it, and it may be more comfortable as well this way.
