Who knows this injury?

[cdownie927]

I was at the gym on sat and I was putting a 45lb plate up and the damn thing slipped out of my hand and landed on my foot.
Boy that fucking hurt I could not move it but just a little, now my big toe which is what it landed on is black and blue and for me to walk I have to use my side of the foot. Has anyone ever broken a toe and/or knows how long it will take to recover maybe like a week or two or what. I didnt go to the docs because if it was broken they cant do anything anyway since it just the toe (its at the knockle part of the big toe that is swolen and blue.

Any thoughts or suggestions

Go to the doctor. You don't know what happened other then that it hurts. Fo instance if it's dislocated the doctor will see this on an X-Ray and place it back where it belongs.

If it is broken.... it will take 2 -3 weeks to heal, but should start feeling better after the first week.

It probably isn't dislocated if it looks "normal" other than being swollen and black and blue. Dislocation is pretty easy to spot.

Your foot has a lot of bones, sounds like you need to get an X-ray and an MD's Diagnosis
