(34,139 posts)I broke my toe the first week of November. I've had plenty of broken toes, never treated them and they healed fine without a lot of pain. Not this one.
In January, I was concerned about how much pain I still had and went to the orthopedist. The X-ray shows a splintered bone in the next to the last toe. They said, "Yeah, you broke that toe but there is nothing we can do about it. It's healing but may hurt for 3-4 more months." Great. So it still hurts and I can't walk any distance.
I've gained a lot of weight since breaking it since I can't exercise. I want to do my own gardening but I can't walk, can't dig holes, can't squat down to plant stuff. I'd planned to work off some of the weight by weeding and planting. Not going to happen.
Since there has been no improvement, I've decided that if it still hurts by my birthday in July, I will go back to the orthopedist and see if they can do anything about it.
