I think I've broken my toe - is it worth going to minor injuries about it?

I can walk on it but it's bruised and swollen and I'm aware that it doesn't feel alright (feels a bit hot but not painful).

I've had a broken toe before and all they did was strap it up.

I really wouldnt waste your time tbh.

I got laughed at when I thought I'd broken mine.

i posted the same thing a few months ago

dropped my mobile phone on it

it hurt like buggery for a day or so, then was fine (but it doesn't bend properly) - may well have broken it

apparently they don't do anything anyway (the doctors, that is, not toes }

they may strap it to the toe next to it, other than that, they wouldn't do anything.

I would try to stay off it if that is possible, other than that, just dose yourself up with paracetamol if it hurts, and moan a lot about your poor broken bones - it may shame someone into making you a cup of tea, you never know

hmm - I may try the cup of tea approach!
