I think I may have broken my pinky toe, except since I'm pretty sure that there isn't much that can be done for a broken toe, and I don't have insurance, I haven't bothered to go have it checked out, so I don't know for sure. You people are usually full of all sorts of random knowledge, so does anyone know how I can tell for sure, and if there's anything I should be doing if it is?
Goes like this, since I am about as clumsy as a newborn colt on LSD, last week I tripped over my own feet and bashed my foot hard against the side of the trunk I use for a coffee table in my living room. Ow, and all that. Eventually the pain subsided enough to stop my whimpering and I figured it would be like every other time I've tripped over my own feet and bashed my foot against somethng (sadly, this is not an unusual occurance at all). Except my pinky toe has stayed swollen and red and while I can stand and walk on it, it remains sore. Weirdest of all, whenever I am standing or putting pressure on it this white line appears across it in the red. What the hell is that?
It really isn't painful enough that I can't live with it if it's going to heal on it's own, and I'd rather not spend the money if I don't have to, so my primary concern is stuff like...will this make my toe fall off? Because I am rather fond of having ten of them.
