ice will calm the swelling and relieve some of the pain.

so my brother tried telling me that if you break a toe they put a cast on your whole foot, i told him he was full of shit. he said he had a friend who broke their pinky toe and they couldn't walk for a while.. i broke my big toe and that's a different story.


ice gets swelling down

I broke my big toe when a piano fell on it, I didn't get a cast :dunno:

Ice the toe, and elevate your foot so the swelling will go down, so you can see whether it's broken.

Worst case scenario, if it is broken, they may splint your toe.
They won't put a cast on the whole foot.

And broken or not, get the ice on it. It will help.

When I dropped a tranny on my big toe h: ... ice worked wonders.
Ultimately, they put a splint on my big toe (fortunately, no bones were broken - the joint was just smashed to hell), and stitched up the wound. In a week, I was walking and driving fine. In four, I was back to normal.
