Don't know if anything has changed in the last 20 years.
But it used to be a doctor would do nothing for a broken toe. It isn't as if most people type with them. |

Be a man, suck it up.
 Ice will help provided you keep it on until your toe is numb. Other than that its just gonna hurt. |

I've broken most of my toes and fingers at various times in my younger years when I was still regularly training and competing (Karate).
Hurts like hell, huh?  Suck it up! |

I just taped it to the toe next to it for a few days. I just figured I would spare some poor doctor
the inconvenience of charging me $300 to do it. |

put on an extra pair of socks or tape the broken toe to the one next to it, or in true arfcom fashion get both

hit yourself with a rock on your pinky finger and your toe pain will go away.

+1 on the taping it to the next toe. Just like a finger. Change it every day.

True ARFCOM fashion would be to use DUCT TAPE. (or would 200mph tape be better?)

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. |

I broke my big toe a few years ago. Still hurts sometimes. I don't think you can do much other than take motrin and stay off it. Hurts like hell, I literally feel your pain!

I've broken and sprained toes a bunch of times... nothing's really helped to me, so I just wait for it to go away.
Though I'd try the tape thing everyone's suggesting... and if that doesn't work amputation is always another way to go...

Been there twice.
My doctor gave me a special sandal with a really stiff sole and it did make a difference by keeping the toe from bending. |
