I dropped a heavy ass weight on my toe in the gym today. My toe hurts like a motherfucker, it's blue and purple as fuck and it cracks whenever I try to move it. How do I know if it's broken?

Doesn't matter if it's broken. Nothing you can do for a broken toe.

Source?
If I call a doctor tomorrow, will he/she be able to do something in case it's broken? You know, with arms and legs and sheit, they put that shit around it. Does that ever happen with toes?
>>34858832
I'd go to the hospital if I were you. never broke something before but I would definitely not wait a day to go see the doc for that kind of shit
>tfw watch too many tv shows
>tfw you think your toe is broken when it's actually not even connected to your foot

Sounds like you broke it ye. I broke mine when I was a kid and aside from the cracking (I didnt try) it was blue and purple as fuck.
>Tfw my dad wouldnt drive me to the hospital because he thought I was just a little bitch.

i have been told this also when i went to a doctor under the belief that my toe was broken. My toe however did not change color tho.
pic??
Can u bear weight?
Can you walk?
I broke my finger once by it getting slammed in a door. I didn't realize it was broken until the next day because the pain and swelling actually got worse. Also if it was below my heart it hurt like a son of a bitch.
The doctor drained the blood from underneath my toe and put a small splint on it.
Your toe isn't your finger but-

>nothing you can do for a broken toe
you can split it, and keep it secured so it doesn't move.
>>34858832
Just tape it to the nearest toe, no need to go to a hospital for them to do it
"Seek immediate medical care if you suspect an open fracture of the toe; if there is bleeding; cold, numb, or tingling sensation; if the toe appears deformed or is pointing in the wrong direction; or blue or gray color to the injured area"

go to the doctor, jesus how stupid are you why even bother asking here
OP , your differential diagnosis :
You have a case of being a faggot.
Apply ice and follow up with your OBGYN.

Any of you medical students? What's the standard procedure with broken toes?
>>34859373
you set the bone and keep it immobilized, just like you would any other break.
>>34859373
I'm a medic
For our patients we usually splint it to the adjoining toe and rest
>>34859231
I don't put my weight on my toe. Or try to at least..
>>34859373
two Popsicle sticks and duck tape nigga. can you bear weight?
>>34859428
When can I squat and deadlift again? :(
>>34859443
no shit dumb fuck, pain sometimes radiates from severe trauma, can you bear weight at all?
>>34859454
A month would be reasonable in most cases, X-ray is the most cost-effective and simplest test though.
>>34859454
to be safe you shouldn't do any squatting.
>>34859456
If you don't want a stupid answer, don't ask stupid questions. Zuck a dik nitwit
>>34859465
I dont want to go to l hospitale. :( I want to summon mo medic
>>34859487
Don't take any NSAIDs, rest it for a month, and re evaluation after that

I dropped 175 on my face today. Second bench day ever, and I already went trough the roll of shame. The whole workout was screwed, I've completely lost my motivation to do other exercises. I mean, I've tried, but wasn't able to lift shit. I also noticed that as soon as I switched from my tiny local gym to the Gold's, all my lifts just getting worse every day.
I dunno why am I even writing about all that in this thread
>it cracks whenever I try to move it.
> How do I know if it's broken?
>>34858832
Have you tried asking the toe if its broken?
>>34859583
i've had 150 dropped on my head before when i started, but I rep 225 now. You can quit if you wanna be a pussy but you're never gonna make it then.
