It's 1:21am and my right little toe is throbbing. I whacked on a the vacuum cleaner

a few hours ago.

Any commiseration will be welcome.

1. Did it draw any blood under the toe nail?

I stubbed my big left toe awhile back and it took almost a full year before the signs of that incident disappeared.

4. No blood. Hurts like hell though.

I was doing laundry and didn't see the fool vacuum until I'd whacked the base.

Bummer. And yeah - toes take forever to heal.

2. Ice in a ziplock bag applied to your toe might help.

5. Ice is good.

Adding a little vodka might help too.

3. If it turns purple, it's broken

Nothing you can do about it.

6. Do they still recommend taping toes together?

I've whacked toes a million times, but this little bugger hurts something fierce.

Maybe a full body cast???

7. I have broken my little toes so many times, I don't think there is any whole bone left.

Walk around bare foot a lot and always smashing the little toe into something. I just tape it to the other toes, which does seem to lessen the pain and carry on.

8. If it's still throbbing, it's probably broken.

Sorry. No shoes for you for a while, although I've worn Crocs with broken pinky toes before.

9. Taping toes together always helps me

when I stub a toe (or drop a six-pack of beer on one). Taping relieves the pain like nothing else does.

I hope your right little toe feels better soon!

10. Thank you!

My first broken toe was the result of my cursed biology book falling out of a top locker shelf smack on my foot, corner first. Yow!
