to not go to hospital with potentially broken toe?

[Squidgee]

and to just deal with it at home?

ExH is moaning at me to go get an x-ray. I really don't see the point.

Don't bother unless it is the big toe.

Just strap it to the next toe, take pain killers and generally keep the weight off it. If you know how you broke it try to avoid that situation again. If there is another reason you broke it - I broke one of mine due to a nutritional deficiency - then get that sorted out.

They can't do anything about it. I broke mine and just taped it up to the next toe. I found it really hard to wall on it for about a week but I just hobbled around.

Another serial tie breaker here, I've never taped mine, though one little toe is now complely twisted on its side, so that one I probably should have. I only went to a&e the first time when I was 14, they said not to come again for toes.

I just buddy strap it to the next one. Unless it’s clearly displaced or an open wound (I know someone who managed to totally trash his toe on a cabinet) they will only strap it anyway.

tarara I broke both my little toes dancing and they now both point inwards from taping them myself. Funnily enough I actually think it made pointe shoes more comfy after

My Dad didn't go to hospital with a broken toe and it now sticks out as such a strange angle that he struggles to find shoes which fit. Go and get it checked for goodness sake.

To be fair, it was his big toe. Maybe no point if one of the other ones judging by pp.
