I was walking over to put on my nightly DVD of Firefly goodness, and I kick the 10 weight I forgot I had left on the floor of the darkened living room! And it hurts really really bad!
So - Do I go to the ER, knowing from past experience that they will pat me on the head and do nothing - or put in firefly, pop a pill and forget about the black spreading up my foot?!!!!!!?????
Pass the Mudders Milk, I need the pain killing quality!

Well, never actually broken any bones, but ive had some experience in injuries (my father is a doctor).
Most likely you can just pop a painkiller and thats that, but there can be consequenses sometimes. My tip is play it safe and go to the er, that way they can straigthen it out if need be and make sure the bloodflow isnt hampered so you dont need to cut it of.
You can’t stop the Signal.
Keep spreading the word about Firefly!

I say take the Firefly DVDs with you, go to the Doctors, have them fix you up, and sneak the DVDs on the hospital TV. You may need to bring your DVD player with you too! lol
Seriously though, you should get it checked out. I hope you feel better!

Which toe and how close to the joint?
I've broken nearly all of my toes (don't ask). If it's a larger toe and the break is at the joint, go to the er. They'll most likely x-ray it, tell ya it's broke, and tape it up.
But if there's joint or tendon damage, it's better to get it taken care of now!
If it's a smaller toe, or the break is a clean one near the tip or between the joints, IEM- Ice, Elevate and Medicate. (Anti-inflammatory pain reliever is best.)

Shiny Shiny people.
I am back, it is not broken. I just pushed it back into my foot - ewwwww.
Hurts, is black but should stay attached to my foot!
I have broken this particular toe multiple times. Oh well.
Thanks for all the advice!

Ouch. Much sympathy here for you.
I add to the thought that you should get it seen to. it's better to be safe than sorry, even if they just tell you there's nothing they can do. Although they may also tell you to tape it to a neighboring toe to get it some stability and support as toes normally don't get splinted as fingers or limbs do.
When you're done at the doctors, come home, pop n the DVDs, and let our BDH's help you relax.

No, no more dancin' for you FMF, but if you come to the party we'll prop you up and put on the BDH's and put ice on your toe and share Mudder's Milk and cookies and we'll all laugh and enjoy our shiny show together.
I promise we'll take good care of you.
