Anything that will aid in healing a fractured little toe? Currently swollen and driving me crazy. Makes driving a clutch miserable. |

I'll add to "tape it to the toe(s) next to it and go on". I've probably broken four or five over the years and they always heal up fairly quickly. BTW, my wife and I wer extra vigilant when we went out to eat in Bend last week. I've warned her that there is a guy from the gunboard there who is always getting hurt and I don't want her to get caught in the debris trail  NMSight |

It's not broken. You have toegus inflamatus, a serious and deadly disease with no known cure. Symptoms include pain, swelling, and a need to post on Arfcom for medical advice. Please PM me your address, and I will come to secure all your guns, ammo, optics, and knives.  *Tape the broken digit to the next toe, allowing a natural bend. Ibuprofen for the pain and swelling. Wear two pairs of well-cushioned socks, and don't wear a shoe on the foot with the injury. When you lie down, elevate the foot above your heart on pillows to further reduce the swelling - and, hence, associated pain. That's all a doctor is going to do, and all he will tell you unless you have a complicated fracture. |
Where the hell have you been?? I remember that every accident and injury thread that arose, You were the start of it.... ... I was getting worried since we havent heard from you. +1 on the taping of the toe.
