Sprained toe?
by Darcy
(WA)
I was at gymnastics when i was running for warmup and kicked the corner of a low beam. As much as it hurt i kept on running. I soon discovered that during stretching It was swollen and I was unable to point my toes, due to that one pinky toe. I couldn't run or walk on it without feeling pressure. Constant pain runs through it. I doubt it's broken, but I cant determine if it is sprained or jammed
Hi Darcy,
There is every possibility that it is broken and the ONLY way you are going to know is with an x-ray.
Since an untreated fractured toe can lead to permanent problems, go have it x-rayed. If the x-ray is negative then it is just bruised.
