Managed to stub my wee toe this morning
Wee toe sitting at 45 degree angle to other toes...pretty sure it's dislocated.

I'm currently lying down with foot elevated
..bandaged and strapped to other toes

I phoned GP who said I'd need to go to a and e. Friends who have dislocated their toe before have said A and E will do nothing..
And will just tell me to do what I'm currently doing.

Any medics aabout who can advise, as I don't really want to sit in A and E for hours n hours to be told to just go home and do what you're lready doing?

Thank you

You are being unreasonable.....go to a and e

You are NOT being unreasonable......elevate foot, bandage it and strap it at home

Do you have a walk in clinic nearby, might be better than sitting in A&E for hours.

I think you need to go to A&E so they can check that you have actually put the toe back in the correct place, that there's no fracture, and if there is a fracture, that the bone is correctly aligned
