I hurt my big toe on Thrusday Night?

I dropped a porcalin vase on my big toe on Thrusday night and it still hurts I tried bandages and ice, but it's still very painful, my husband thinks that I might even lose my toe nail, I am wondering what else I can do it's hard to walk and it's hard to sleep at night due to the pain any ideas?
Thank you for your time

Ice or cold pack for 20 minutes at a time, for 48 hours after an injury. Keep it elevated when you sit or lie down - that will help the swelling "drain" from the area. After 48 hours you can start to apply indirect heat for 20 minutes at a time.
Gravity plays a wicked role in foot injuries, because there is nowhere lower the fluid from the swelling can go.

Keeping the foot elevated is your best bet - not walking!!!!!!


As others have said, there isn't a lot a doctor can do for a broken toe. They can't cast it.
If you must walk, keep it to a minimum and if you have soft open toe slippers, wear them - and maybe use a thicker tube sock folded back on itself for padding.

My personal choice for pain killers?
Well, I don't usually drink, but I'd make an exception if the ibuprofin wears off before the next dose.

I feel your pain.... feelin' sorry for you!
