I broke my big toe in April 2010. It was x-rayed and taped together to the toe next to it. I was given a 'boot' to wear on that foot. I still have issues with pain in that toe. Was this comment helpful?Yes

I broke my toe about a year ago and went to the emergency room. All they did was X-ray it and tape it to the other one. I got a huge bill for something I could have done myself. I just re-broke it today and I'm just going to do the same thing here at home and avoid the bill. Elevate it, ice it, soak it in Epsom salt, and wait for it to heal.
