Have I broken my toe? Oucccchhh!!

Bit of a random one but I don't know what to do!

Basically I dropped a big pirex measuring jug on my foot earlier - it broke and I ended up with a few cuts on my little toe. Since then I've been getting bad calf pain and pain at the base of my toes along my foot. It's quite swollen, there's a little lump on the outside and my foot is freezing!

I've not broken a bone in 16 years so I don't know whats normal and I hate Googling things like this. I don't know whether it's worth a call to the NHS - it's the pain up my leg which is worrying me?

We can't give medical advice on here, call NHS direct if your worried

Sounds painful, I agree with Raya, call nhs direct.

Ooouucch, poor you!

I'd definitely ring NHS direct too. x

I caught my little toe on the door and my god did it hurt... Couldnt move it and was so sore i went to A & E.. i had to have an xray and i had broke it... Thats where i would go even though they wouldnt do anything for it. Just strapped it to my other toe and was off work for a few weeks ... Xx

id ellavate it and put some ice on it Definately contact a doctor but they usually cant do too much for it, asprin will help with the swelling too.

I ended up dosing up on painkillers and sleeping - It's still looking pretty bad this morning so might head up this afternoon while I haven't got the little ones - Thanks ladies x

i did it not too long ago by catching it on the pram...Glad i went to A&E though as she said they check if when it sets itself that nothing is in the way.. X
