WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT IT?

Applying ice and taking anti-inflammatory medication such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen can help with the pain and swelling. Buddy Wrapping your broken toe and the one next to it can help limit movement and relieve pain. If you think you have broken your toe, it’s important to consult with your healthcare provider. An x-ray will determine if your toe is actually broken. An untreated broken toe can become stiff and deformed if untreated.
