I was
tossing a schmoe moving a refrigerator yesterday when my untrained weakling little brother lost his grip on the appliance, which dropped it upon my foot.
Despite my unfashionable weight belt and fingerless Behringer gloves, my lack of steel-toed lumberjack boots was indeed my downfall. Feels like a broken toe.
Now, instead of going to the doctor to get a popsicle stick and some tape and missing 4 hours of message board posting time, I'm just bringing my medical question here, so that the phD braintrust here can give me some solicited and entertaining medical advice.
Specifically, do I just tape the broken big toe to the ugly toe to next to it? Do I use a popsicle stick too? is leg training affected? Thanks friends.

Ronnie Lott says to cut that mofo off!

I call bullshit Rob, we all know you haven't trained 1 day of legs in your entire life!
also, Behringer makes audio gear/musical instruments..when did they get into the fitness market ?

Rob, if any part of this is true. You need to isolate the big toe and find a firm slim peice of metal to place under your toe and tape with medical tape. After that you need some ace bandages to wrap your foot with, to insure your toe stays in place at a slightly elivated position to reduce swelling while standing. You must rewrap everyday and no unneeded pressure on the toe.

thanks, it actually is true. No schmoe tossing, but my girly man brother did drop a fridge on my toe while we were moving it.
What item do you recommend for the metal? how long to wrap it for?
Thanks!

Rob,
You should know by now that if and when you are injured, you seek legal advice before seeking medical advice. Things like homeowner's insurance, premises liability, and umbrella policies are all there to ensure your financial well-being and your child's future college education. If your lawyer tells you to go to the doctor, you go. If he tells you it's your fault, you're a moron, and hangs up on you, grab a popsicle.
HTH

Pretty funny 240, a waitress at my work dropped a full bottle of champaign on my foot a while ago, and ended up breaking my pinky toe lol...it actually hurt pretty bad for a few days, and was really sensitive when putting on socks/shoes, no running or treadmill for a few weeks, even kind of threw off my balance a little while doing squats, but after about a month, I don't feel it anymore, maybe it heeled i don't really know, but as a Getbig consultant I would advise you to give it a week or two and see what happens. Good luck Broski!

On Getbig we are all medical doctors, endocrinologists, anesthesiologists, neurologists and orthopedic surgeons.
So here is my medical advise...
FlashRob: Walk it off!

I have had a few busted big toes is the only reason I know this. I would recommend something aluminum if possible that is dense enough to hold but thin enough to mold in a vice and or pliars. Keep rewrapping it for 4 weeks then check light pressure on it if it swells, ice then rewrap prop foot up and continue prior wrapping for 3 more weeks. Should heal by then.

I'm already eating a popsicle. Happened at dad's house, and he recommended Block's advice to walk it off.

Just remember you fuck up your big toe you fuck up your balance and your spine over time

Lol..yeah she was hot, if it was a bus boy or somethin I probably would've reacted completely different!

I dropped the sharp end of a bench right down on my big toe, working out barefoot at home. Busted my toe nail almost completely off, and toe felt like it was broken. They checked it out, I got two stitches and went home with a soar ass toe. :-X
-
If its broken see a Dr.
If not
rest / ice / compression / elevation. take some advil

when you arent 100%sure about what injury you got, always go to the dr if you care about your health...

yeah im a doctor, just get a popsicle stick cut it smaller and tape your toe to it. You may also tape it to the toe next to it if needed.
If you don't have a popsicle stick you can actually use paper, just fold a piece enough to wear it is stiff. If you immobilize the toe it will substantially decrease the pain. if it really hurt you should elevate it and put some ice on it for 20mins.
Avoid walking and use painkillers...

absolute BS mindstein.
you never splint a toe.
there's nothing you can do for it. elevate, take pain relief, ice it (probably not much point now).
if it landed on your toe then its probably crushed...even more reason to not splint.

yet another dumbass....have you guys tried to walk around and live your life with a stick tied to your toe?...i guarantee that 240 wont move it if it hurts....i repeat..do not splint it. its a. pointless, b. impractical, and c. can force your toe to heal incorrectly.
-
done and done
have a few drinks
-
Duct tape your toe to a light dumbell and exercise the toe by doing "light dumbell toe raises".
Immediately following,take two asprins and call the doc in the AM.
If that doesn`t help,pull up your skirt and man up!!
