I feel you, literally. I had a really bad bruised foot, and then I irratated it on monday and then on Tuesday I went to the ER. Next day, I went to the foot doctor and It was fractured/ broken. I am now on crutches with a boot for a month. So if I were you, I would go to the doctor and get it checked out. Then probably you will get crutches. My foot was still bruised 3 weeks later.

The need for crutches depends on what is causing your leg to hurt.
Crutches are used to reduce/remove stress from an injured leg. Using crutches may help to prevent further injury, and enable your leg to heal faster.

∙ 15y agoThat depends on how bad you hurt it. If it was just bruised badly, sure. If it was half cut off, GOD, YOU NEED TO SEE A DOCTOR!!

∙ 12y agoIt all depends on how much weight you can bare. Also try to see if you can go to the doctor they can tell you for sure if you need crutches.

How can you shower with a spiral fractured toe?
I broke my toe yesterday, went to A&E, got it taped up and on crutches. It's a spiral fracture in the toe next to the big toe. How can I shower/wash without damaging it more? I don't want to impede the healing as I need it to be healed in time for my holiday and it's already unlikely if that will happen.

What colour is your toe when it is fractured?
Not always, your toe is purple because you have broken blood vessels in your toe and the blood has leaked out into your tissue. Your body will absorb this spilled blood in time and you can watch your toe turn all kinds of colors during this process. To see if you have indeed broken a bone and not sprained it, you need to have an x-ray.

I recently kicked this wall (3 weeks ago) and split my toe open. It hurts very bad to put all my weight on it and if i barely stub it it reopens and hurts very bad. its kinda infected (i wont go into detail because idk if u r queesy) but i would recommend crutches for a big toe injury. I just dont like not being able to do things. your big toe is like the foundation for walking and the sooner healed the better
